HELIOS
An entirely new class
of LED linear light
The next evolution
in high power professional lighting systems
Sylvania is a pioneer in gas-filled LED lighting technology and has fundamentally changed the construction of a linear lamp with the development of Helios. This revolutionary light source uses high powered, gas-cooled LED filaments enabling a full 360° light emission. The tube is hermetically sealed ensuring no VOC or gas can harm the LED filaments. It also exceeds IP68 ratings, enabling the lamp to be used in a large variety of professional general and special lighting applications while helping users meet sustainability targets.
LED Filaments allow Helios to offer a full 360-degree light emission – a world first for a linear LED product. –

Why LED filaments?
Unlike traditional LED chips, Helios uses unique high-powered filaments which do not have a back mirror coating that prevents 100% light reflection. Instead, Sylvania’s gas-cooled LED filaments are mounted in transparent heatsinks (gases) ensuring that all the light can escape in every direction. This provides:
360° light emission
A better construction
Helios uses LEDs in vacuum-sealed glass tubes (>IP68) instead of open-to-air solutions. The benefits of this construction include:
Filled with heat-conductive gases for cooling without light-blocking metal heat sinks.​​
Optimised thermal management resulting in high lumen packages.​
Keeps out sulphur and other gases that attack LEDs for better lumen & colour maintenance.​​
Prevents escape of silicone vapours from LEDs, which disrupt industrial processes e.g. painting.​

Helios Compatibility ​
Helios LED lamps are a revolutionary concept, designed for modified fluorescent fixtures and new luminaires.
They support the latest lighting control systems, offering enhanced performance and flexibility.
Mechanical
Identical dimensions and caps as linear fluorescent lamps – however in common with other LED tubes, the power is supplied from only one end.
Electrical
No internal driver.
Helios uses standard external LED drivers for maximum reliability and control.
Lifetime
Up to 75K hours​
Application areas
The innovative design and benefits of Helios enable it to be used for a wide range of applications across multiple industries.
