| MR16 7W LED 50W replacement earns ENERGY STAR qualification GREEN CREATIVE announced the ENERGY STAR qualification of its MR16 7W High Output Titanium Series 3.0 lamp in 2700K,3000K, and 4000K. Each lamp is available and qualified in 25° NF and 36° FL beam angles. GREEN CREATIVE's MR16 7W HO has elevated itself above other high-performance MR16 50W replacements by being ENERGY STAR qualified in 2700K, 3000K, and 4000K and two beam angles in each color temperature. At 75 LPW, GREEN CREATIVE'S MR16 7W lamp's efficacy is rated 175% higher than what is required by ENERGY STAR. Not only does this MR16 7W lamp have the highest efficacy among other ENERGY STAR qualified MR16s, but it is the most energy efficient 50W equivalent available today. LEDs currently make up 10% of the estimated 46 million installed MR16s in the nation, and that number continues to grow each year. Out of all other LED lamp types, MR16s have enjoyed the most successful market penetration due to their distinct advantages over halogen lamps. MR16 LEDs last 15-20 times longer than halogens, reduce cooling costs by producing less heat, and require far less maintenance. If the entire US transitioned to MR16 LEDs, the DOE estimates realizing $0.6 billion in annual energy savings ("Adoption of LED in Common Lighting Applications" 2013). Due to these increasing demands for high quality LED lighting products for commercial applications, GREEN CREATIVE focused on performance when designing this compact and powerful lamp. The 1:1 halogen form factor fits existing fixtures perfectly and its 525 lm output in 3000K is one of the highest among all leading 50W equivalents. GREEN CREATIVE unveiled their MR16 in early 2013 and it has been the company's most well received product to date. "With the new ENERGY STAR qualification for all 6 of our MR16 7W models, we expect to see the lamp's adoption rate grow significantly," says GREEN CREATIVE BD Director, Cole Zucker. The MR16 7W HO joins over 30 other LED lamps and fixtures already in the GREEN CREATIVE ENERGY STAR family. In addition to ENERGY STAR, the MR16 7W HO lamp is dimmable, UL listed Class I & II, FCC compliant, and backed by a 3 year warranty, making it the best choice for your retrofit project. write your comments about the article :: © 2013 Construction News :: home page |
