Aura Signette Long LifeFluorescent lamps for attractive signs
AURA S IGNET TE LONG L IFE
Aura Signette Long Life is tri-phosphor lamp with very good
colour rendering designed to give internally illuminated signs
a uniform distribution of light, especially for environments
where the temperature is low. Inside the outer tube there is
specially designed diffuser layers integrated to give optimised
light uniformity both for single- and double-sided signs.
With electronic ballast the service life for Aura Signette
Long Life is 70,000 hours and 48,000 hours with magnetic
ballast and starter.
This group of lamps are designed for applications such as
outdoor sign boards, single- and double sided and outdoor
display.
• Extremely high light output at low temperatures.
• Very good colour rendering.
• Reduces maintenance with two thirds.
• Excellent starting characteristics at low temperatures.
Ideal for:
• Outdoor sign boards, single- and doublesided
• Outdoor displays

with an improved end-of-life protection against overheating. The
lumen depreciation process is minimized with a protection layer
inside the glass tube.
Lifetime
A lamps service life is defined as the elapsed time when the
amount of light in an installation reaches 80% of its initial 100
hour value. According to IEC/EN 60081, the service life of the
lamp failure rate and the lumen depreciation is calculated based
on the lamp being operated with a switching cycle of three
hours.
The three hour switching cycle is defined as having the lamp
switched on for two hours and 45 minutes and then switched off
for 15 minutes.
A switching cycle that is more close to common use is the 12
hour switching cycle, this is defined as having the lamp switched
on for 11 hours and then switched off for one hour. The lifetime
shown is accounted for 10% mortality.
Technical information
Aura Signette Long Life (T8) has a basic fluorescent diameter
26 mm lamp inside with an outer glass tube Ø38 mm and
connection pins G13. The lamp is designed for luminaires
developed and assembled for T8 fluorescent lamp but the
extra width of the outer glass tube needs to be taken into
account. Operation of these lamps is possible with electronic
Overview
Aura Signette Long Life lamps are mainly directed for use
in sign boards. The diffused light distribution optimises the
overall image of the advertisement and the direct intensity of
the lamp is very low. The lamp replacement conditions for sign
boards make it worthwhile to consider Long Life.
Aura Signette Long Life design is comparable with Aura
Ultimate Thermo, with a Long Life fluorescent T8-lamp cased
in an outer glass tube of Ø 38 mm. The thermo insulation gives
significant high lumen output at low ambient temperatures
compared to standard 26 mm fluorescent lamps.
The outer glass is available with different diffuser layers;
Aura Signette-S Long Life has one diffuser layer of 100°,
horizontal to the socket pins and Aura Signette-D Long Life
has two layers opposite of each other diffusing 80°, for type A
- the diffuser layer is horizontal to the socket pins and for type
B - the diffuser layers is vertical to the socket pins.
Group replacement of fluorescent lamps provides an opti-
mal control of operational costs and gives a uniform level of
light. For economical and environmental reasons Aura Light re-
commends group replacement of Long Life fluorescent lamps.
Long Life technology
Aura Signette Long Life is developed based on our patented
cathode shield construction. This design provides a unique
