Fluorescent Overview

When it comes to long-lasting, economical, energy-saving bulbs, nothing can match fluorescent, and because they are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, there's a SYLVANIA fluorescent bulb for just about any room in the house. And with products like our DESIGNER® Fluorescent bulbs, you'll benefit from higher light output and improved color compared to our regular Warm White and Cool White fluorescent bulbs.

Depending upon the colors that you would like to enhance in your home's decor, you can choose from our cool fluorescent family of bulbs to enhance cool tones (blues, greens, grays, whites) or our warm fluorescent bulbs to enhance warm tones (reds, oranges, yellows, and wood). So whether you're a workshop, brightening the bathroom, or want to spice up the in your kitchen, there's a SYLVANIA fluorescent bulb that's just right for you.

 

To enhance colors like blue, white and grey in your home, choose from the following...

DESIGNER® Cool White Fluorescent
The SYLVANIA DESIGNER® Cool White is one of our brighter fluorescents. Use where cool, crisp, bright light is desired and where you want to enhance cooler color tones. It’s great for the kitchen or bath, home offices, or cove . This bulb lasts a long 20,000 hours (that’s about 7 - 10 years, on average) and comes in 18", 1', 2', 3', and 4' lengths.

Cool White Energy Saver Fluorescent
This bulb offers the same quality of light provided by our regular Cool White Fluorescent, but comes in a 4-foot length. Since it operates at 34 watts (compared to the 40 watts of the Designer and Deluxe types), it saves up to 15% of the energy while still providing reasonable light output. A good general-purpose bulb. (Not recommended as a direct replacement for 40-watt fluorescents in most residential shoplight fixtures since it could cause the fixture to overheat. Use only in fixtures specifically labeled for use with 4-foot, 34 watt bulbs. If unsure, please check with your electrician.)

Cool White Deluxe™ Fluorescent
This fluorescent bulb provides a cool, crisp light making it an excellent choice for workshops, walk-in closets, and basements. While it isn’t as bright as our Designer Cool White, many prefer it for its superior ability to render all colors equally well. Available in 4' lengths only.

Cool White Fluorescent
The SYLVANIA Cool White Fluorescent bulb is available in 18", 2' and 3' tubes and 8", 12", and 16" circular shapes. They are ideal for workshop, utility room, and basement fixtures.

Economy Cool White Fluorescent
For those applications where low price is important, we recommend our Economy Cool White Fluorescent. This 4' bulb provides a good quality light and lasts 12,000 hours, on average.

 

To enhance warm colors like yellow, gold, red and wood tones in your home, choose from the following...

The straight bulbs have a life of 20,000 hours (7-10 years, on average); the circular bulbs are rated at an average life of 12,000 hours.

Using 15% less energy than 40-watt fluorescent bulbs, this 34-watt bulb provides pleasing, warm light with reasonable brightness.
