Havells Sylvania, the leading global designer and supplier of lighting systems, has launched two new CFLs that utilise innovative ballast technology to deliver not one, but two ground-breaking dimmable lighting solutions.The Mini-Lynx Dimmable range is one of the first in the UK to provide the option of dual dimming, and features one product option that operates on standard dimmers and another on regular on / off switches. Both product types provide flicker-free dimming across a 3 to 100% brightness range.
The lamp that is operated with an on / off switch is seen by the Havells Sylvania development team as the range's key product innovation. Cycling smoothly down, then up again, its level is set with a simple flick of the switch when the desired brightness is reached – this level is then stored for subsequent use until the brightness is reset.
Edward Lees, a Havells Sylvania product manager, commented: "This range really is at the forefront of dimmable CFL technology. Not only does it provide products that are ideal replacements for dimmable incandescent lamps, but it also extends the capabilities of previously non-dimmable lighting systems.
"As a result, the range really does offer the ideal solution for any retro-fitting application."
The spiral lamp also uses 80% less energy than an incandescent dimmable lamp and has a 10,000-hour lifetime,
"We're certain that the Mini-Lynx Dimmable, with its innovative dual dimming functionality, impressive energy saving credentials and excellent light quality, will easily stand out as the cream of the dimmable CFL crop," added Edward Lees.
