Sylvania CMI

Sylvania CMI light sources are available with several bases but all come with an excellent color rendering. These light sources are quite energy efficient but not dimmable. The CMI-T and CMI-TD lamps are provided with an UV-filter, preventing items to discolor. Our models are perfect for in stores or shop windows and can be placed in conventional and electronic fixtures. The expected lifetime of these light sources is 9.000 hours.

Luminous flux (in lumens) is a measure of the total amount of light a lamp puts out. Wattage is the amount of watt a bulb uses in 1 hour. We've long identified bulbs by their wattage, but that is actually a measure of electricity, not the brightness of a bulb. The amount of light a bulb generates is measured in lumens. An incandescent 60-watt bulb, for example, gives off 750 lumens of light and LED bulbs can deliver the same amount of light using as little as 9 Watt! The amount of Lumen divided by the wattage will show you which lamps are most energy efficient.
