| Light Waves Concept unveils high-power MR-16  Light Waves Concept, Inc. reported plans to enter into mass production with its LED 3 Watt MR16 prototype. The bulb, which is intended as a replacement for the standard dichroic MR16, is described as the first light emitting diode capable of being used in widespread retrofits for its incandescent predecessor. Light Waves’ LED 3 Watt MR16 uses 90% less energy than incandescent MR16s while boasting a near zero heat output and an eight-year lifespan. It produces a light output of around 80 lumens which makes it perfect for architectural applications in the home and office.The “MR” stands for the multi-faceted reflectors lining the inside cone of the fixture surrounding the bulb which serve to focus illumination more directly and powerfully onto a desired surface. The brightness-enhancing design serves to circumvent the technology gap in LED luminosity. Light Waves Concept, formerly a track lighting company, is a Light Emitting Diode manufacturer. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
