Lighting Science Group Sets a New Standard in LED Lighting Technology
First practical, high quality, LED replacement for standard incandescent lamps introduced.
Redefining standard lighting technology, LSG’s replacement lamp provides light output sufficient for everyday tasks. Using only 7.5 watts, the new LED replacement lamp drastically reduces energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This morning at
“We have all been waiting for a viable, energy efficient, replacement for the standard incandescent lamp for many years,” said
The innovative A19 replacement from Lighting Science is six times more efficient than the standard incandescent lamp and about 20 percent more efficient than comparable CFL alternatives. Additionally, LEDs last 20 times longer than incandescent lamps and up to six times longer than CFLs. LED lighting is also an environmentally responsible choice for homes and commercial buildings as it contains no hazardous materials such as mercury found in compact fluorescents. Unlike conventional fluorescent lamp technology, LEDs do not emit harmful UV rays and can be turned on and off as needed, requiring no extra time to reach full brightness.
“The extraordinary pace of innovation at play in today’s world is transforming our ability to support sustainable initiatives without sacrificing light quality, added
The innovative A19 LED replacement lamp is the first in a series of LED replacement A-lamps that Lighting Science expects to deliver to the market in the third quarter of 2009.
