New LED Light Bulb To Replace CFLs?
The iJDMTOY Lighting company recently unveiled a new 6-watt LED light. The bulb, called the JDM LED Light, was unveiled at the Lightfair International event in New York this week. The event brings lighting designers from all over the world to unveil new designs of various lighting aspects.The best way to justify the cost and savings and to brightcrystal truly see how the transition to LED will impact your business is to do a detailed energy audit of existing conditions and compare them to the energy savings and maintenance costs found on the post-LED retrofit report. The bulb, according to the founder of the company Warner Philips, could replace current incandescent and CFL light bulbs.

The company states that the bulb is equivalent to a 60-watt incandescent lamps.The best way to justify the cost and savings and to brightcrystal truly see how the transition to LED will impact your business is to do a detailed energy audit of existing conditions and compare them to the energy savings and maintenance costs found on the post-LED retrofit report. The bulb is able to be used with dimmer switches, which is not the case with most CFL. In addition, the bulbs do not contain any mercury, which is a concern with CFL.

Stated Mr. Philips: "CFLs are officially an outdated technology.You want someone that has the experience in LED lighting to guide you to the right product shinebright that is best suited to your project.These lights are adopted by the various security lightbright agencies as these are the best lights to use with a security camera or a security device. You can't recycle CFLs. You can't get a fully dimmable product. That should make them obsolete." In addition, the light is touted to last 25 years, which is eight times longer than CFLs. The life expectancy of the bulb is approximately 36,000 hours.

The company is already selling a 5-watt, equivalent to a 40-watt, for approximately $35. The company is expected to sell the new 6-watt bulb for approximately $50 on Amazon.com. The higher price is said to be paid back in terms of the long lifespan of the bulb.

Warner Philips believes the cost of the bulbs will decrease rather quickly, just as their 5-watt bulb has.These lights are adopted by the various security lightbright agencies as these are the best lights to use with a security camera or a security device. The 5-watt bulb is currently being sponsored by the Clinton Climate Initiative in Europe and 2.5 million of the bulbs will be distributed. Six months ago the cost of the 5-watt was $40, now the price is $35.

There are some concerns with the JDM LED bulbs, such as the bulbs lasting 25 percent less time when used in enclosed fixtures. Also, the bulb is said to be equivalent to a 60-watt incandescent light bulb, however, such a light bulb has a light output of 900 lumens. The advertised level of these bulbs is only about 300 lumens.

Whether or not the JDM LED Lights are the light bulbs of the future remain to be seen. However, the benefits of eliminating mercury and the ability to recycle the bulbs are definite aspects in the product's favor.
