August 13, 2003—LEDtronics has introduced an upgrade of its Task/Spotlight Direct Incandescent Replacement LED Lamps. These energy-efficient and long-lived illuminators integrate Indium Gallium Aluminum Phosphide and Silicon Carbide/Gallium Nitride technologies, and 25mm Edison screw bases.
They come in 30-LED and 40-LED configurations, are available in common voltages from 12V to 240V AC, and are offered in green, white, blue, yellow, red, and orange. They are ideal alternatives to incandescent lamps for decorative and night task lighting such as message boards, time and temperature signs, stage lighting, elevators, aviation, bridges, display counters, and ornamental lighting.
Selling points include:
- They are impervious to electrical and mechanical shock, vibration, frequent switching, and environmental extremes.
- They perform well in applications where voltage dips or surges.
- Used in clusters, LEDs provide light even if one or more emitters fail.
- They have an average life span of eleven years.
- They use only 10-20 percent of the energy consumed by equivalent incandescent lamps.
Prices range from $36.65 to $76.00 each. For more information, contact LEDtronics at 800/579-4875.
