MORE IIGHT PER WATT OF POWERToday'sstandard 100-wattfluorescentunit (two 4}-watt lamps and ballast) providesmore than three times thelight of a 100-watt incandescent bulb. The fluorescent iamp not only produces more light per watt, but main-tains its brightness longer and lasts on atr averc,ge nine times as long as an incandescent lamp of the samewattage.LIGHT THAT's COOI AND COMFORTABTEThe fluorescent lamp is rated more efficient as a light producer because ir converrs electricity into more aisibleligbt and lets radiant heat than does the incandescent lamp. The resulting "cool" lighr is more comfortable towork under. It also reduces the refrigeration load in air conditioning.LESS GLARE AND IESS HARSH SHADOWSFluorescent lamps are more free from troublesome glarenecessary.

Fluorescent lamps for general illumination come in seven shadesof ''white" light to suit every requirement.LIGHT AT IOWER COSTBecause it offers high output, high quaiity of illumination, Iong lamp life, and maintains its brightness for suchlong periods, fluorescenr is generally recognized today as not only rhe best light, but also the leasc expensive,all costs considered.

SV1YANIA ITFELIT{E LATIPSPROVIDE 20% LONGER LIFEAT NO EXTRA COST

TUMEN EFFICIENCY UP I50%IThen the first \Zhite fluorescent lamps reached the marketin 1938, their rated light o'r;tput was 30 lumens per watt'In less than a decade, Sylvania had doubled light output to60 lumens per watt. In t962, through the development ofthe new stabilized phosphor coatings, acrual lumen outputfor Sylvania fluorescent iamps is in excess of 80 lumens perwatt, the higtrest ever achieved commercially in standardlamps. And these extra lumens, you know, are just as im-portant economicalllt as more miles per gallon, more BTUin fuel and more miles in tires.NOW 9OOO HOURS OF HIGHEST SUSTAINED LIFESylvania's nevr Lifeline Lamps not only give 90O0 hours ofrated average life - 1500 more hours than previous fluores-cent life ratings - they not only deliver higher sustainedlight output than competitive lamps, but they actually useless electricity. Yet they cost you exactly the same as otherfluorescents.And with thrs 207o extra life, you get extra light, too -4 million extra lumen hours of it in the case of 4O wattlamps. And not just highet initial. ligbt ourpa, but thehigbett sxttrdined, light output of any 4}-watt fluorescent onthe market.And Sylvania now offers the money-saving benefits ofLIFELINE in a broad range of rypes ' ' ' including 40 watt'Preheat-Rapid Start, High Output and Slimline'MAINTENANCE COSTS FURTHER REDUCEDIn addition to the labor savings gained by L/5 longer lifebetween replacements, maintenance exPense is still further

reduced by the ingenious new Cad,dy-packs. . . which makeSylvania's Group Relamping Plan, based on Lifeline lamps,even more economical. \7hat's more, Sylvania's exclusiveCerti.fi,ed' Perf ormance Policy backs the Lifeline lamps witha money-back guarantee.BRIGHTNESS MAINTAINED TONGERITith Sylvania fluorescents you can count on greater lightoutput not only when the lamp is new but throughout itsrated life. That's because of the superioriry of Sylvania'sphosphor coatings. These phosphors must meet tests forpurity that ate bigber than U. S. Pharmacopoeia Standards.Phosphor particles must vary in size - but within strictlyheld maximum and minimum limits. And finaIly, they gothrough an exclusive "homogenizing" process. This blendsthe particle sizes for even distribution - insures best coat-ing adhesion and maximum uniformity and brightness.That's why Sylvania fluorescents don't show the irregularityin coating thickness found in ordinary lamps srhySylvania lamps give you more uniform light and greaterbrightness than are produced by any other coating processused in the industry.LAMP COLORS RIGIDTY STANDARDIZEDKeeping lamp colors always the same is an extremely trickyproblem. To obtain the various tones of light in fluorescentlamps, fluorescent crystals must be blended to strict for-mulas. Only by the most tigid controls and constant check-ing is it possible to assure color constancy - always thesame for each color the full length of each lamp. Sylvanialamp colors are as uniform and standardized as scientificmanufacturing can make them.

IICERIIFIED PERFORIUIAIICE POLICY''I. QUATITY CONTROT INSURESUNIFORM PERFORMANCE AND VATUESylvania's over-all progtam of Quality Control extends throughout everyphase of lamp manufacture. It is through Quality Control's rigidly main-tained standards that Sylvania can manufacture milliou of lamps - eachwith the same individual accuracy. Quality Control is the reason whyevery Sylvania lamp you use will be uniform in color and appearance andgive consistent performance and lighting value.2. EXACT QUANTITIES OF THE PUREST MATERIATSIt is a basic requirement in maintaining Sylvania's exceptional lightingstandards that all materials used in Sylvania lamp making be of the high-est purity. Complicared scientific instruments are used to detect minuteimpurities, and to measure microscopic dimensions. The argon gas,tungsten for carhode filaments, phosphor crystals, glass, plasrics and metalsused in making fluorescent lamps, musr meet even higher standards ofpurity than do drugs and medical supplies.3. PRECISION PROCESSINGEvery factor in every phase of the manufacturing process must be rigidlycontrolled. For instance, in the rooms where fluorescent coatings arc ap-plied, temperature and humidity must remain constant to prevent defectsof brightness and color. To keep air-borne impurities from already purematerials, even the {actoty air is washed clean - at the rate of 100,000cubic feet per minute. In all operations, remperature, timing, and measure-ments must be constantly checked and the closest tolerances held.4. CONTINUOUS INSPECTION AND TESTINGBoth individual and scientific sample inspection of "runs" are made arevery step of lamp manufacture. In fact, Sylvania uses almost the sameamount of electric power in testing lamps as it does in acrually makingthem. And before final packing, euery lamp must pass a frnal checkout.If it is below par, it is auromatically rejected and scrapped.

All fluorescent lamps require ballasts. Sylvania does notmanufacture ballasts, but all types needed for use withfluorescent lamps made by Sylvania are avaiiable from othermanufacturers.The use of a ballast is necessary because any fluorescentlamp is fundamentally an electrical discharge source and itscurrent would rise to a value which would destroy the lamp,

Forspecial inspection and photo-reproduction processes, for signlighting, theater displays, as well as scientific, mineralogy andhobby applications, etc. The Blacklight Blue series has dark blueglass which acts as a filter to absorb unwanted visible light. In theeconomical Blacklight clear glass series the fixture itself is pro-vided with a permanent filter.

SYTVANIA "CO[D CATHODE''FTUORESCENT TUBINGFor Signs and Custom-Design Ligbting

"Cold cathode" differs from the usual "hot cathode" rype offluorescent lighting in its use of a higher electrical voltage and itslonger life. The resulting light output is somewhat lower than forhot cathode types because operaring currents are limited by elec-trode design. No starting switches are necessary and only oneconnection is made to each end of the tube.Sylvania cold cathode fluorescent sign tubing features high sur-face brightness, easier bending, controlled manufacture of exclu-sive "3-C" phosphors.. In 2 colors,2 diameters,S-foot lengths for lighting installations.

Colors match standard fluorescent lamp colors.. In 12 colors, p diameters, 4 and S-foot lengths for sign tubing.Colors conform to National Electric Sign Association standards.. In many colors and diameters with bright Halophosphate coat-irg.. Triple Etched - colors are etched at both ends and center ofevery tube for easy identification.
