OSRAM SYLVANIA Lights Up the Track at the SYLVANIA 300
LOUDON, N.H., Sept. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- OSRAM SYLVANIA, title sponsor of
the SYLVANIA 300, added two "track lighting" features at the New Hampshire
Motor Speedway inLoudon, N.H. First, SYLVANIA set up a demonstration to
educate fans about safe driving and the importance of visibility on the road.
Two NASCAR pace cars were outfitted with new headlights on the track. The one
on the right is outfitted with SYLVANIA SilverStar(R) ULTRA headlights and the
other with standard headlights. The side-by-side comparison shows the
increased visibility of SYLVANIA SilverStar(R) ULTRA headlights, which are up
to 50 percent brighter and increase down road visibility by up to 40 percent
when compared to worn standard bulbs.

Poor visibility, especially at night, is a serious driving hazard.
According to the Motor Vehicle Lighting Council, poor visibility is cited as a
factor in an estimated 2.8 million accidents, 23,000 fatal crashes and 2,300
pedestrian deaths every year inthe United States. SYLVANIA SilverStar(R)
ULTRA headlights produce a whiter, brighter light that can help improve
driving safety.
Also, OSRAM SYLVANIA installed thirty-five 300-watt quartz halogen
floodlights to improve the efficiency and functionality of the lighting on the
New Hampshire Motor Speedway's helicopter pad. The improved lighting offers
brighter, whiter light to maximize safety and visibility, as well as longer
bulb life and better energy efficiency than standard incandescent bulbs.
