The new Sylvanic VHO Outdoor Fluorescent Icrmp provides optimum perlormcrnce in tilted fixtures used in service stqtions cnd genercl crecr lighting, The rcrpidly increcsing use of Iluorescent Icrmps in multiple Icrmp enclosed fixtures mounted at shqllow cngles, in the order of filteen degrees, hcrs estcblished the need lor o lcmp to opercrte efficiently under these conditions within the rcnge ol night temperatures
