Aura Unique-L - the only Long Life compact fluorescent lamp on the market

Press release April 23, 2006

Swedish lamp manufacturer Aura Light has developed a completely new product range on the basis of its established Long Life concept. The particularly long-lived compact fluorescent 'Aura Unique-L' lamps are being shown for the first time at Light+Building.

The lamps come with a guaranteed service life of up to 48,000 hours (12B10, 12 hour switching cycle) with electric ballast (warm start) and 36,000 hours with magnetic ballast. The two parallel fluorescent tubes are linked by a bridge and a pin base (2G11, 4-Pin). Auxiliary electronics are not integrated. The 'Aura Unique-L', a tri-phosphor fluorescent lamp with the very good colour rendering index, 1B (Ra85), will be available in all common wattages (18–80 W).

Particularly well suited for use in lower ambient temperatures is another new product, the 'Aura Unique-L Cool'. By positioning the bridge differently between the two fluorescent tubes, it has been possible to achieve a considerably higher light output at low temperatures.

The new long-life compact fluorescent lamps supplement the existing range of straight and U-shaped fluorescent lamps. For users, the greatly extended service life of all Aura lamps means a significant reduction in operating costs thanks to the need for fewer lamp changes. Another advantage is the reduction in the amount of waste to be disposed of. Thus, Aura products are of benefit to both the user and the environment.

All Aura Long Life fluorescent lamps are comparable to conventional fluorescent lamps in terms of their mechanical, electrical and lighting specifications and can be used to replace existing fluorescent lamps in all lighting systems.
