Aura Light launches a new and unique Long Life lamp for street lighting

The lighting company Aura Light introduces the world’s first Metal Halide Long Life lamp for urban street lighting.  The lamp has a guaranteed lifetime that is more than double that of standard products on the market, saving both maintenance costs and the environment.

With a Long Life lamp fewer replacements are needed, which both reduces costs and help the customers to become more sustainable. There is also a security aspect of lamps with a long lifetime, as it increases the chances of well-lit streets, parks etc as well as avoiding the dangerous maintenance work in the middle of the streets.

– We have now expanded our range within street lighting solutions, strengthening Aura Light’s position as the natural provider of all kinds of Long Life sustainable street lighting with high quality, says Martin Malmros, CEO and Group Director at Aura Light International AB. We have seen a great demand from customers for a Long Life version of Metal Halide lamps, as there has been no such product in the market until now.

Metal Halide is a lamp type well suited for urban street lighting, with a white high quality light. The colour rendering, or possibility to reproduce the actual colour of various objects, is high.

The Aura CRYSTAL Long Life has a lifetime of 25,000 hours, which equals about six years (11 hours/day, 365 days/year, 90% of the lamps still working). In average lifetime that is 36,000 hours (about nine years, 50% of the lamps still working).
