April 22, 2013, EarthLED has offered the world exclusive launch of XLEDIA Diamond (D) series A19 LED light bulbs, suitable for fully enclosed fixtures. The XLEDIA D series features a patented omni-directional light diffuser that spreads light more efficiently than ever before thanks to its multi faceted diamond-like design. At efficiencies up to 100 lumens per watt, the D series is the most efficient fully enclosed omni-directional A19 LED bulb on the market. The D series comes in equivalent outputs ranging from 40 to 100 Watts with 120 and 150...

Advanced Lumonics, LLC, an early leader in the direct replacement LED lighting market through its consumer oriented EarthLED brand has announced its EvoLux and ZetaLux LED light bulbs have achieved UL Listing and FCC Certification. The company says that the UL Listing will allow the use of EvoLux and ZetaLux in a variety of projects that require this certification prior to installation and open up many previously untapped markets for LED technology.

LEDs have been used widely for decades in other applications—forming the numbers on digital clocks, lighting up watches and cell phones and, when used in clusters, illuminating traffic lights and forming the images on large outdoor television screens. Until recently LED lighting has been impractical to use for most other everyday applications because it is built around costly semiconductor technology. But the price of semiconductor materials has dropped in recent years, opening the door for some exciting changes in energy-efficient, green friendly lighting options.
