April 1, 2013—Lighting manufacturer Seesmart expects that its recently released 15-watt light-emitting diode (LED) tube lamp will set a new industry standard for energy efficiency and light output.
The new product from Seesmart, a subsidiary of Revolution Technologies Inc., produces a measured efficacy of 112 lumens per watt. With more than 1,700 lumens of light, the lamp is the industry’s most efficient four-foot LED T8 lamp, utilizing the lowest wattage and generating the highest light output available, claims the company.
“Our latest 15-watt LED tube lamps offer a new paradigm of efficiency and convenience for solid-state lighting installations,” said Ray Sjolseth, director of engineering for Seesmart. “We believe this is the T8 LED product that many customers have been waiting for.”
The Seesmart LED tube features rotatable end caps that allow easily customized lighting angles by rotating the tube. Unlike typical LED tube lamps, the lightweight LED tubes also feature a true T8 profile with a specially designed internal power supply that distributes the weight equally at both ends. The power supply is carefully designed for high efficiency, resulting in a high power factor and a low total harmonic distortion, says Seesmart.
In addition to its tube lamps, Seesmart manufactures an extensive line of high-quality interior and exterior LED lamps and fixtures that produce immediate energy savings and a rapid return on investment, the company says. It also offer an extensive lighting product line backed by warranties of up to seven years to meet most commercial or residential installation and retrofit needs.
