May 21, 2007—EcoLEDs.com, a newly launched lighting company offering high-brightness, energy-efficient LED lights, announces the availability of an LED replacement for 40-watt light bulbs.
The E27 3/W LED light uses only 5.2 watts of electricity and produces 135.2 foot-candles of light on a desk surface from a distance of 24 inches. A typical 40-watt incandescent light bulb, points out EcoLEDs, produces only 10 foot-candles of light on the same surface.
The light bulb exploits new technology in the area of LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) to deliver a high-brightness, energy-efficient light bulb that contains only 3 LEDs, says the company. It fits into any standard light bulb socket and lasts 50,000 hours – or more than a decade of normal use.
Because of its extreme energy efficiency, the light reduces CO2 emissions by 3,570 pounds over its life, compared to a typical 40-watt light bulb. It also saves users $1.78.50 in electricity over its life, according to EcoLED.
The EcoLEDs E27 2W LED lights currently retail for $39 each and can be purchased online.
