Havells Sylvania Offers Free Replacement of its 15W 10.000 h (10 year) Mini-Lynx Fast Start Energy Saving Light Bulbs

RAUNHEIM, Germany, April 7, 2010 - A small proportion of 15W 10.000 h (10 year) Mini-Lynx Fast Start energy

overheating behavior. The cause of the potential issue has been traced and
production has been immediately modified accordingly.

Havells Sylvania requests the buyers of these light bulbs, that are in
use or stored, to contact them in order to get them replaced. All the other
wattages are unaffected by this campaign.

"We are committed to the highest standards of quality for all our
products and we focus on the safety of our customers. This recall is a
precautionary measure which will be done at no cost to our customers", says
Olivier Van Houtte, President and Chief Growth Officer of Havells Sylvania
EMEA.

Havells Sylvania apologizes for the temporary inconvenience this may
cause to its customers and thanks them for their cooperation.
