One of the best innovations in compact fluorescent light bulbs over the past
decade or two has been the Sylvania twin tube Dulux lamp. It's what some
people call a 2 tube compact fluorescent or sometimes a twin tube fluorescent.
The reason these are so great is that it allow designers to get a very small
bulb that has a great light output. These also offer light control that
was not possible with other kinds of linear fluorescent before. The
lengths of these Sylvania Dulux lamps was such that the placement in a fixture
would be in an ideal position for light distribution. Since the invention of
compact fluorescent light bulbs, users have been saving energy with the most
efficient small light source available. They have been used in for years in small fluorescent
fixtures. The Dulux twin tube is a high lumen compact fluorescent which because
of its shape can be used in many areas where a lot of light was not possible
before. It has been the choice for lighting applications like recessed or
hallway lighting of common areas, almost everywhere! The color rendition on the lamp is very high
making it an excellent choice for color sensitive areas. The diameter of the
bulb is the T4 and it has two pins typically, but there are a few of them that
have 4 pins.
Compact fluorescent are the smaller fluorescents you see used in almost any type
of recessed light fixture that used to use an incandescent flood light bulb. When it comes to
lighting up a home or office, compact fluorescent bulbs tend to be the
ones chosen more often than other types of bulbs. They are chosen most often
because of the great light output and good color along with energy efficiency as
well. When compared to incandescent lighting, these are longer lasting, using
much less energy making them a perfect choice for almost any type of lighting.
There are several kinds of compact types which include the regular household
base, some that are plug-in types and some short linear bulbs. As with all
fluorescent bulbs, they rely on ballasts inside of the fixtures or units to make
them work. The ballast is important because it is specific for each type of
lamp. You can't change from one type of fluorescent to another without changing
the ballast in most cases. On a rare occasion there may be a ballast that is
made for several different types such as in the case of some commercial plug-in
Sylvania twin tube lamps. Most of the time though the ballast in the lamp are
matched electrically and so it's good to make sure the ballast you have is the
right one for the lamp you choose. You'll find these in several wattages
down to 9 watt and all the way up to 13 watts.
You can get these in almost any color you want with a warmer 3000K color or the
4100K color more like office lighting. Fluorescent lamps can come in many other colors as well and are
identified by their Kelvin temperature. By definition, virtually all are full
spectrum in that they contain some of all colors in their spectral range.
However, the term full spectrum is primarily used when referring to those lamps
that fall into the white to blue/white color temperature range. Color
temperature is measured by a term called Kelvin. 3000 Kelvin would be a warm
tone color, 5000 Kelvin would be a white color and 6500 Kelvin would be a
blue/white color. Although there are many choices in color for the twin tube, it
is most commonly found in the 3500 Kelvin or 4100 Kelvin temperature. The
typical office color is usually the 4100 and so it makes sense that these would
match up to what the light color is all around the office.
With the advent of higher electrical costs, many businesses are looking for ways
to save energy with lighting. Obviously, Sylvania twin tube compact fluorescent
light bulbs are the perfect choice to replace higher wattage incandescent flood
lamps and save energy. You will find a great reduction in your electrical bill
while still getting the amount of light that you want. Keep an eye out for
electric utility rebates in your area which might be available for compact
fluorescent light bulbs. This is more true in commercial lighting than it is for
residential as they are a larger user of electricity during the day or high
demand times. Most cases it's been used recessed downlighting or common
areas where there can be a good amount of light control while retaining good
aesthetics. It causes a
greater light spread and evenness of light, with a tremendous energy savings
over incandescent flood light sources.
Remember that there are many types of Sylvania twin tube compact fluorescent light
bulbs, we describe some of the most common used in home and commercial lighting
here. Keep in mind that we also stock all the larger or linear types of
fluorescent lamps used in commercial lighting. Whatever type you choose or have,
you will be saving energy while getting the most light you can for your money.
We have a large inventory of fluorescent bulbs for nearly every type of light
fixture in the field. If you need help identifying the bulb you have, our
customer service representatives can help you determine what you have.
