11w Daylight T2 Helix (ES)
This lamp uses T2 technology to be one of the smallest, fastest quickest bulbs on the market.
The T2 technology is essentially a thinner glass tube which can be twisted into a tighter turns, resulting in the smallest, brightest, compact fluorescent lamps possible.
It's small size makes this bulb ideal for table lamps, bedside lights, or any general lighting purpose.
At just over 80mm tall this bulb is smaller than most 'normal' bulbs and as it produces 550 lumens it's almost as bright as a 'high energy' 60w bulb. When we visually compared a regular 60w bulb to this 11w lamp, the low energy bulb appeared to be brighter.
Daylight bulbs

Comparing light bulbs
When you're comparing light bulbs to decide which one to buy, remember that light output is measured in lumens. Some bulbs produce more lumens for the same amount of electricity (measured in watts), which means that not all bulbs of the same wattage are the same brightness.This bulb produces 550 lumens from 11w of power, giving an 'A' energy rating of 50 lumens per watt.
