Aura has launched compact fluorescent lamps as yet another product group within the range of long life light sources.

Now, it is also possible to acquire compact fluorescent lamps with a guaranteed life time that is at least three times as long as that of standard products. Thus, the environmental impact is reduced to a third when it comes to production, transportation, waste, etc, said an official spokesman.

Aura supplies long life light sources that are guaranteed to last at least three times as long as the standard products on the market. As a result, the users can save both money and the environment, since only a third of all changes of light sources need to be made.

The same applies for the new products Unique S (Single = with single tube) and Unique D (Double = with double tube). The new products are developed at Aura's own research and development department in Karlskrona, which created the first long life fluorescent lamp back in 1980. Aura now has over 700 long life products.

“By offering long life fluorescent lamps, we are contributing to the conservation of the environment while, at the same time, saving the customers a lot of money and resources. Now, they do not need to change the fluorescent lamps as often, resulting in a third as much waste, transportation, etc,” said CEO and group director for Aura Light International Martin Malmros.

The newly developed compact fluorescent lamp is mainly used in office environments, shops, storerooms and as outdoor lighting. They have an average life- time of 42,000 hours, which, in a normal office environment, should mean that they last approximately nine years, compared to three years for a standard product.

As with all fluorescent lamps generally, compact fluorescent lamps are low energy lamps, that is they use less energy than incandescent lamps in order to provide the equivalent amount of light. – TradeArabia News Service
