Achieves Power Savings of Up to 90%
TORRANCE, CA — August 15, 2008 — LEDtronics® introduces an addition to its
line of drop-in replacement MR16-styled /GU10-based LED bulbs: High-powered
3.3-Watt LED lamps. Two major advantages distinguish this new bulb over other
GMR16 LED lamps. First, it is engineered to handle the variations in voltages
that may accompany “noisy” or “dirty” AC (but not DC) power supplies, eliminating
potential burnout from incoming voltage that is higher than the lamp’s capacity.
Second, the new 3.3-Watt MR16/GU10 bulb eliminates the need to stock a variety
of LED MR16/GU10 bulbs to coordinate with different voltages that power sources
of 80-260 volts AC may present, simplifying procurement and inventory procedures.
High-powered 3.3-watt LED MR16/GU10 bulbs (Series Number GMR16-5W) have the
following characteristics: Bi-pin bases just like standard incandescent MR16/GU10-based
bulbs, and light outputs of 123 lumens using only 3.3 watts with input voltage
range of 80-260VAC. The bulb features three High-Power LEDs and is offered in
Warm White (3000 Kelvin) color temperature and in 20° spotlight beam angle.
With factory approval, MR16/GU10 3.3W bulbs may be ordered in other LED colors,
voltages and beam angles. They carry a three-year limited warranty. Unlike halogen
MR16 lamps that create potentially damaging heat and have caused fires when
accidentally coming in contact with other objects, LED-sourced MR16/GU10 bulbs
generate less heat while operating, and pose no threat to the objects they are
illuminating or to their surroundings.
Varied, Maintenance-Free Applications
Lighting professionals, architects, industrial designers and maintenance departments
will find these MR16/GU10 3.3W lamps to be excellent solutions for their maintenance-free
applications. These lamps are commonly used for accent, task and display-case
lighting, track lighting in museums, elevators, jewelry stores and hotels. They
are excellent for both residential lighting situations and entertainment venues
like theaters, restaurants and theme parks. They are also ideal for use with
alternative and renewable-energy resources like solar and wind power.
With an average White LED lifespan of up to 50,000-hours (five years), LEDs
operate reliably year after year. Solid-state design renders LEDs impervious
to electrical and mechanical shock, vibration, frequent switching and environmental
fluctuation. Integrated current-limited resistors prevent short-circuiting.
LED lamps use only 10%-20% of the energy consumed by equivalent incandescent
lamps. When combined with their maintenance-free operation, this results in
substantial cost savings.
Founded in 1983, LEDtronics® leads where others only follow when it comes to
designing, manufacturing and packaging state-of-the-art LED bulbs to meet the
world’s constantly changing lighting needs. Our inventive product line encompasses
an array of direct incandescent-lamp-replacement Based LEDs bulbs, low-cost
snap-in and relampable Panel Mount LED lamps, high intensity sunlight-visible
Discrete LEDs, PCB LEDs circuit board status indicators, surface-mount diodes
SMT LEDs, full-spectrum rainbow RGB LEDs and Infra-Red (IR) LEDs.
