Hayleys Consumer takes tube lights to new heights with Philips

Fluorescent lamps (tube lights), almost omnipresent in Sri Lankan offices and factories, have been taken to a new level of sophistication and economic sense with the introduction of a new generation of state-of-the-art fluorescent lamps from Philips by Hayleys Consumer Products Ltd (HCPL).

The company said this new range includes fluorescent lamps that are highly efficient, last up to an amazing 17,000 hours, have the lowest mercury content in the industry, are flicker-free, and when used with recommended high frequency electronic ballasts, can save 60 to 80 per cent in electricity consumption and be dimmed to suit the requirements of the user.

“These new products have been rated best-in-class around the world, and their arrival in the local market cannot be more timely in the context of rising electricity costs,” Hayleys Lighting Business Unit Manager Janaka Kiridena said. “Although they cost more than the standard fluorescent tubes, these new tube lights result in considerable savings through reduced maintenance, longer replacement cycles and substantial savings on electricity.”
