Mercury lamps provide up to three times more light from
fewer fixtures than incandescent lamps of the same wattage

lamps are compact they're far easier to handle, install and

service. For most street and outdoor lighting, mercury luminaires

at no extra power cost. They outlast ordinary incandescent lamps by 16 times and street lighting incandescent lamps by 8 times. This longer life means substantial savings on new lamp purchases and relamping costs, because you make far fewer replacements than with fi.lament lamps. Compared to fluorescent lamps, mercury lamps are far more rugged and versatile . ' ' give dependable service in many indoor and outdoor applications. They outlast the stand up useful life of fluorescent lamps up to 3000 hours mercury because And conditions. of weather under all kinds

are just as effective as incandescent filament-type luminaires. And they have this big advantage over fluorescent luminaires: though fluorescent lamps provide higher efficiencies in lumens per watt' mercury Iuminaires will have better distribution control' Mercury luminaires direct a powerful concentration of light where you want it. Still another reason why they're ideal for so many indoor and outdoor applications.

Or look at mercury's comparative savings in terms of cost per million lumen hours. With Sylvania's 400-watt mercury, the cost of light production can be $.80 per million lumen hours, compared with $1.30 for the largest incandescent, 860 watt, 15,000 lumen lamp. With Sylvania's 77S-watt mercury, it's $1.45 per million lumen hours, compared with $1.70 for a widely used incandescent rated at 405 watts, (r,000 lumens. On top of all this, you save substantially on maintenance costs. Mercury's three to five-year burning period pared with an average incandescent life of 6 months means you can eliminate at least five replacement service trips in the field. Yes, you'll find mercury lighting gives you more light at any makes more efficient use of power lower cost - than other source. These three case studies show how much MORE efficiency and economy you can get with Sylvania mercury lamps than
