Sylvania’s Mini Lynx Fast Start

As its name suggests, Mini-Lynx Fast-Start offers bright, flicker-free light within two seconds of switch-on and runs up to full light output in less than minute.

Lamp life too has been hugely extended – its rated lamp-life is 10,000 hours. The lamps are also extremely compact from 104mm to 150mm long, depending on wattage – and will fit comfortably into most domestic lighting  fixtures, so they can be used as direct replacements for inefficient tungsten lamps in virtually all applications.

Suitable for residential applications, as well as shops, restaurants, hotels, museums, schools and other public buildings, the new range can produce energy savings of  up to 80%, compared to its incandescent equivalents, while massively reducing the CO2 impact on the environment. In fact, Mini-Lynx Fast-Start lamps have an Energy Label Class A, which puts them in the highest category of energy-efficient light sources on the market.

Light quality too is very good, with a colour rendering capability of Ra 80 in a selection of three colour temperatures (a ‘warm’ 2700K, a ‘cool’ 4000K and a daylight-matching 6000K). Further flexibility is provided by the choice of three lamp bases – E14, E27 and B22 – and most lamps can tolerate over 20,000 switching cycles without compromising life or performance.

Available in six wattages (5W, 8W, 11W, 15W, 20W and 23W) Mini-Lynx Fast-Start offers specifiers and end-users a highly versatile, energy-saving and long-lasting compact fluorescent lamp collection for today’s interiors.
