The bulb also offers enhanced renditions on deep red (R9) colors and skin tone hues, ensuring that colors match the quality provided by standard halogen and incandescent bulbs and surpass the quality of CFLs.

SYLVANIA's innovative new bulb reinforces the company's commitment to bringing cost and energy efficient LED lighting options to the consumer market. The environmentally-friendly lamp is mercury and lead free, making it an ideal choice for indoor and outdoor fixtures.
