Aura UNIQUE -S/-D/-T Long Life

Energy efficient compact lighting solutions

The complete Unique range of compact fluorescent lamps offers you an energy efficient light source with all the Aura Long Life benefits. Developed on base of the best available components and excellent processing they achieve a multiple lifetime compared to standard lamps. The UNIQUE-S, D and T are patented on platform of the Aura specific cathode shield construction and the inside protection layer.

They are available with high-quality tri-phosphor colours with the high colour rendering of Ra ≥ 80. The high lumen output with low energy consumption combines Compact Fluorescent to energy efficient light sources!

Aura UNIQ UE Long Life are single-capped compact fluorescent lamps. They are based on bended discharge tubes and are connected by bridges. UNIQUE-S has one, UNIQUE-D has two, UNIQUE-T has three discharge tubes.

The UNIQUE-S, -D and -T are designed for operation with electromagnetic ballasts and contain in the cap construction a starting device. The UNIQUE-S/E, -D/E and -T/E are constructed for mainly operation by defined electronic ballast. Therefore the cap has a 4-pin connection. With electronic dimming ballast they function in dimming applications.

Dimming
Aura Long Life lamps are suitable for dimming without any exception. To ensure the full life time of a fluorescent lamp it is however important to age it for 100h on 100% power. The lamps do not have to burn 100h continuously but can be seasoned in stages as well.

This recommendation applies for all fluorescent lamps; standard or Long Life. If you need more detailed information, kindly contact us.
