SYLVANIA Launching new Natural LED Portfolio

LDS Sylvania natural 400

June 22, 2020

LEDVANCE is launching, on July 2020, SYLVANIA SubstiTUBE PS Natural LED T8 Lamps and SYLVANIA LEDlescent Natural LED T8 Ballast-Free Lamps which offer the best alternative to natural light by mimicking the natural light spectrum, thanks to TruWave Technology. As a result, these LED lamps enhance color contrasts and deliver less intense blue light to reduce eye strain, improve readability and support an improved sleep-wake cycle, all while saving energy.  TruWave Technology delivers exceptional color quality (CRI 90, R9>50, R9-R12≥78) without the loss of efficacy which is typical of most 90+ CRI solutions.  These LED lamps also help bring peace of mind with a shatterproof frosted nano plastic design.

  • SYLVANIA SubstiTUBE IPS Natural LED T8 lamps are dimmable down to 10 percent with compatible 0-10V ballasts, work on existing fluorescent ballasts and are compatible with instant start and select programmed rapid start electronic T8 ballasts with input voltage of 120-277V and 347V. 
  • SYLVANIA LEDlescent Natural LED T8 Ballast-Free lamps bypass the existing ballast to operate directly on 120-277V and have a double-ended design with a patented built-in safety circuit.  This prevents current from flowing through the lamp when only one end is engaged in the socket thereby eliminating potential shock hazard and helping to ensure safe and easy installation.
