ETL-Classified LED Retrofit Light Bulbs Provide Up To 85% Energy Savings, Lower Maintenance and Superior Illumination
Qnuru™ introduced four new ETL-Classified (U.S. & Canada) Vector LED Light Bulbs, bringing the Vector product line of commercial retrofit LED light bulbs to 34. The four Vector LED Light Bulbs are direct replacements for the energy-inefficient, high intensity discharge lamps found in LSI-Industries'Scottsdale and Dakota retail petroleum and convenience store canopy fixtures; AccuLite's GL Series and Lithonia Lighting's PGR fixtures for ceiling-mounted parking garage lighting; and Cooper Lighting's McGraw-Edison and Streetworks 1000 watt parking lot light fixtures. Designed, assembled and tested in America, Vector LED Light Bulbs, consume up to 85% less energy, provide daylight-quality illumination, and require one-fifth the maintenance support of conventional commercial lamps. The Vector family of LED bulbs fit more than 95% of all existing commercial and industrial light housings and meets the stringent ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for solid-state lighting products.
"In this challenging economy, business owners face a Hobson's choice: Layoff staff or find new ways to eliminate unnecessary operating costs," said Rhonda Dibachi, President and CEO of Qnuru. "With our LED lighting solutions, lowering a company's energy costs is a no brainer. Vector LED bulbs slash energy consumption by up to 85%, last five times longer than fragile gas-filled lamps and deliver much higher quality illumination without having to invest in new poles or heads. You don't need a calculator to figure out this investment pencils out."
It's the Bulb, Not the Fixture
The Vector family of LED Light Bulbs fit into more than 95% of all commercial and industrial light fixtures, including lighting brands offered by major manufacturers such as NSi Lighting (NYSE: NSI), Lithonia Lighting (NYSE: AYI) and Cooper Lighting (NYSE: CBE). They are installable by a licensed electrician in less than 20 minutes, offer an average investment payback of 10-30 months and carry a 5-year warranty. The 34 Vector LED Light Bulbs fit a wide range of fixture styles, including high bay and low bay lights used in warehouses and production facilities, canopy lights used in retail petroleum stations and covered parking garages, ornamental and historic pole-mounted lights for roadways and plazas, bollard and pathway fixtures for parks and public spaces, floodlights for security and building illumination, and interior and exterior recessed down lights.
The Light Bulb Reimagined
Development of the Vector LED Light Bulbs began in 2007 within Noribachi Labs, the technology R&D arm of The Noribachi Group, a clean technology private equity firm (www.noribachi.com). Each Vector LED Light Bulb consists of multiple Cree LEDs (NASDAQ: CREE) embedded on custom-designed, patent-pending, aluminum-backed circuit board Common Lighting Units (CLUs). Individual CLUs are mounted on a variety of CLU sled geometries to form the product line of 34 Vector LED Light Bulbs. Because individual CLUs can be directed independently, Vector LED Light Bulbs generate an even photometric footprint (no hot spots or perimeter fadeout) with little or no over lighting and low light pollution. The CLU-based modular design of the Vector LED Light Bulbs also provide for quick and easy maintenance.
