Lighting Science Group Launches Ultra-Efficient European Line of DEFINITY LED
Bulbs
Europeans Now Have the Freedom of Saving Green by Buying Green Without
Sacrificing Lighting Quality
SATELLITE BEACH, Fla., April 14, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Leading the
ultra-efficient lighting revolution - Lighting Science Group (LSCG) today
launched a European line of its DEFINITY LED bulbs that have a higher lumen
(light) output than many of its competing products at a dramatically lower retail
price. Europeans can now start lowering energy cost without sacrificing light
quality by installing Lighting Science Group's DEFINITY line of LED light bulbs.
The line includes MR16, PAR38, R63, R95, G80, and A60 bulb types that are
approximately 80% more efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs, are
dimmable and will last nearly 25,000 hours (25 times as long as a typical
incandescent bulb).
"Our European DEFINITY line of LED bulbs sets a new standard for lighting
performance at an affordable price," said Rich Weinberg, chairman and chief
executive officer of Lighting Science Group. "These bulbs offer the best lumens
per dollar and can save users hundreds of dollars in maintenance, replacement and
energy costs. Furthermore, unlike CFLs, the DEFINITY LED bulbs contain no
mercury, are completely recyclable, are 'instant on,' and offer outstanding light
quality."
To ensure performance and reliability, the DEFINITY LED line was tested under the
rigorous LM-79 process by an independent laboratory approved by the U.S.
Department of Energy's CALiPER program. These testing results show that the
DEFINITY LED bulbs outperform many competing products on the market. Moreover,
saving green by buying green has been made easier, since the DEFINITY LED bulbs
have a payback of one to two years.
"With the phase-out of incandescent light bulbs, Europeans can now purchase
long-lasting, environmentally responsible and sustainable replacements that make
economic sense-without sacrificing lighting quality," added Weinberg.
The DEFINITY line of LED light bulbs is being offered through lighting
distributors and directly by Lighting Science Group. To find your nearest sales
