LEDnovation, a innovator in LED lighting and replacement lamp technology,  announced the addition of a warm-dimming version of the popular Bright For Life® A19 Omnidirectional line. The A19 Warm-Dimming Omnidirectional features the world’s highest efficiency and high color rendering (CRI). It is the first of LEDnovation’s omnidirectional lamps to feature the well-received warm-dimming solution previously introduced on the Bright For Life® BR30 and Recessed Downlight families. As background, incandescent and halogen lamps turn warmer in color temperature when dimmed. With a unique digital dimming control, trichromatic color solution and customized dimming profile algorithms, the lamp, when dimmed, follows the black body planckian locus with exceptional fidelity, offering the most accurate representation of true incandescent and halogen dimming. The result is an exceptional omnidirectional LED A19 with the true look and feel across the entire dimming range of a traditional incandescent lamp.

In describing the new lamp, Israel J. Morejon, CEO and President of LEDnovation, said, “Our proprietary and patented technology delivers the highest performing A19 in the marketplace in terms of efficiency, CRI and warm-dimming; a truly revolutionary change without compromise. This product adds to LEDnovation’s continuing portfolio of solutions for the Solid State Lighting market.” Mr. Morejon continued, “LEDnovation has the World’s most efficient line of LED replacement lamps and the A19 Warm-Dimming Omnidirectional is the next step in our goal to replace all incumbent light bulbs".

The industrial design of the LEDnovation A19 lamp can be summed up in two words: sophisticated elegance. LEDnovation has found the balance between beauty in design and function. The flow of the sleek fins up the side of the dome effectively cools the lamp and provides a profile that simply makes sense. Staying very close in shape to a traditional incandescent lends an air of familiarity to the LEDnovation Omni. LEDnovation A-lamps utilize a diffusing dome very close to spherical shape that results in bright, pleasant warm light that is distributed evenly over the entire white orb. In addition, the lamp weighs 3.8 ounces which makes it the lightest in the industry. This is in stark contrast to competition lamps that are too large, weigh too much, don’t look like normal lamps and don’t adhere to a harmonious design concept.

The lamps are ideal for use in any standard Edison socket where a traditional incandescent A19 would be used. With the warm-dimming feature, they are exceptional in all sorts of luminaires, including table lamps commonly found in residences, hotels and restaurants. The Bright For Life® LED A19 Warm-Dimming Omnidirectional is a perfect fit for any location where a warm ambiance is desired for a cozy, comfortable feel. The key is excellent dimmer compatibility and the ability of the lamp to become proportionally warmer in color temperature as the lumen output is lowered or dimmed.
