SYLVANIA Lighting by LEDVANCE Enters New RENAISSANCE Period with High CRI PAR LED Lamps

Wilmington, Mass. and Philadelphia – Lighting leader LEDVANCE is unveiling SYLVANIA RENAISSANCE™ LED PAR Lamps, a family of high CRI (90+) lamps ideal for color critical applications, such as retail, museums, restaurants and hospitality, at Booth 1701 at LIGHTFAIR® International (LFI®).  LFI, the world’s largest annual architectural and commercial lighting trade show and conference, takes place May 7 — 11, 2017 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.  These lamps feature a high R9 value to enhance warm color palettes and make whites crisper, and exceptional center beam candle power (CBCP) values and beam quality to place emphasis on whatever is being showcased.  In North America, LEDVANCE offers professional users and retail customers SYLVANIA advanced LED bulbs, standardized luminaires, and smart lighting solutions, as well as traditional light sources.

“Museums and retailers need lighting with high CRI and R9 value, in addition to brilliant center beam candle power, to highlight the beauty of their artwork for culture enthusiasts or the color of merchandise in order to entice a consumer to purchase,” said Alfred LaSpina, Product Group Manager for LED Lamps, LEDVANCE.  “Our new SYLVANIA RENAISSANCE LED PAR family address these issues by delivering high quality, long-lasting light that doesn’t need to be replaced frequently.  These LED lamps are worthy of illuminating the works of great artists like Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci which is why we honored them with the name RENAISSANCE.”


The SYLVANIA RENAISSANCE LED PAR family comes in PAR20, PAR30, PAR30LN, and PAR38 shapes with a variety of beam angles (15°, 25° and 40°) with multiple color temperatures (2700K, 3000K and 3500K).  They have a rated life of up to 25,000 hours (L70) and a design life of 40,000 hours which allows for decreased maintenance costs.  Delivering 82 lumens-per-watt and CBCP values between 1100 – 13,000 candelas, SYLVANIA RENAISSANCE LED lamps use 8, 12, 13 or 16.5 watts and replace 50, 75, 90 and 120 watt halogen lamps.  This results in up to 87 percent energy savings which translates to up to $285*.  The portfolio is ENERGY STAR® Rated, dimmable and indoor/outdoor-damp rated.  The lamps are also RoHS compliant, contain no mercury and emit no UV or IR radiation.
