Faithful reproduction of colours
The colour rendering index (Ra) is a measure of how accurately an artificial light source can render colour. Most models including the warm 3000K range of colour temperature types of the EYE CERA ARC have Ra ≥90, 1A the highest level of colour rendering index. Accurate colour enhances the value of any setting.

Best expression of redness
Among various colours, the reproduction or rendition of redness has a large impact on the appearance of any object. The EYE CERA ARC has an excellent colour rendering property for red (R9). The EYE CERA ARC lamps are not only suitable for lighting of goods that need clear appeal of redness such as food and clothes, but they also create a well-balanced, high-quality space by emphasising of reds.
Natural Red, more vivid red
EYE CERA ARC Natural Red with optimised red colour rendition (R9) is even higher than other EYE CERA ARC lamps. The Natural Red brings out the true beauty and richness of red and other colours. This lamp is perfect for a wide range of food and other display lighting applications
"Protected" Tubular bulb with E27 screw base
Wide selections of colour temperature types in wattages from 35W to 150W are available in Tubular bulb with E27 base (E26 Medium base for North American region). All of these lamps can be used without cover glass. The Tubular E27 type fits a wide variety of applications such as facade lighting, wall washers, display lighting. Ideal with downlight, pendant luminaires, which do not need cover glass, thus is low cost and low loss in performance. Clear and frosted bulb available.
Energy saving design - 250W, 400W
A stunning 85% lumen maintenance makes it possible to reduce up to 50% energy consumption, supporting CO2 reduction.
The lumens at the end of lamp life of the 400W EYE CERA ARC corresponds to the lumens of 700W and of metal halide lamp, and 250W EYE CERA ARC corresponds to the lumens of 400W metal halide lamp.
By reducing numbers of fixtures at the lighting design stage by suppressing excessive brightness saves energy consumption drastically.
These 250W and 400W lamps operate on our dimmable electronic ballast, which realises further energy saving.
UV-cut
EYE CERA ARC lamps have an optically designed special coating that dramatically reduces UV radiation from the lamps to prevent discoloration, fading.
