West Caldwell, New Jersey - MaxLite, a leading global manufacturer and marketer of the award-winning MaxLED line of innovative LED luminaires and lamps, announces that three LED lamps are now listed on the Lighting Design Lab's (LDL) interim qualified products list. Being listed ensures that MaxLite's 7.5-watt A19, 6-watt dimmable PAR20 and 12-watt dimmable PAR30 will qualify for rebates for one year by most utility companies in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, which includes Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Utah and Alaska. The LDL qualifies LED products while they are being reviewed by ENERGY STAR or DesignLights(TM) Consortium (DLC). Products on the LDL list meet ENERGY STAR or DLC specs, except lumen maintenance, and are listed for no longer than 12 months.

"LED lamps use up to 75 percent less energy and last 10 to 17 times longer than incandescent bulbs," said Director of Product Marketing Pat Treadway. "Qualifying for the LDL LED List is certainly a hallmark of energy efficiency, performance and quality that we can pass on to our customers in the Pacific Northwest."

MaxLite's new LEDs provide better quality light than CFL lamps and offer superior cost savings to their incandescent alternatives. These MaxLED lamps deliver 25,000 and 40,000 hours of maintenance-free operation, or 8 to 14 years based on eight hours of daily usage. MaxLED LDL-qualified lamps are manufactured with high-ranked LEDs that are proprietary binned, which ensures color uniformity. MaxLED lamps operate with reduced heat, and without emitting radiation, which can also reduce HVAC costs.

With a high color rendering index (CRI) of 80, MaxLite's three LED lamps, which are UL- and cUL-listed for damp locations and operate on a 120-volt lighting system, include the 7.5-watt A19 (SKB7.5LED27), the 6-watt dimmable PAR20 (SKR2006DLED30) and the 12-watt dimmable PAR30 (SKR3012DLED30).

The 7.5-watt A19 Frosted LED Bulb with a standard E26 medium base is available with a 2700K correlated color temperature (CCT), while delivering 450 lumens. The lumen maintenance is enhanced by the proprietary housing and integrated thermal management system.

GlacialLight F, No. 352, Sec. 2, Zhongshan Rd New Taipei City, , 235, R.O.C, Taiwan

- Save power and turn ordinary lights into effective security devices -

Taipei, Taiwan - GlacialLight, a division of experienced global technology leader, GlacialTech Inc., has added the GL-PIR10C, a versatile infrared motion sensing switch, to its popular range of lighting products.

This passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor can be connected to a wide range of light sources to enhance ease-of-use, cut power consumption, and improve security. User adjustable settings include light and motion sensitivity. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor use in almost all lighting conditions, with an adjustable range of up to 12 meters.

This infrared motion sensors can switch the lights on automatically when people enter an area, keep them on as long as required, and switch them off again when people leave. This saves power costs, can lengthen light lifetime, and reduces light pollution by preventing unnecessary use of lighting and power. Automatic lighting control saves time for staff, who no longer have to switch lights on and off by hand - an ideal solution for situations where operating a light switch by hand could be difficult or even dangerous.

The instant bright illumination of an area when motion is detected can also enhance security and help prevent crime. The light will remain on as long as motion continues to be detected, and will then turn off after an operator-set interval.

Users can easily adjust this motion sensor to work in most environments and to perform a variety of useful functions. The GL-PIR10C can be adjusted to detect motion over a very wide range of ambient light levels, from 3 lux to 2000 lux, making it ideal for both day and night use. A sensitivity control can be used to increase or decrease the range and motion sensitivity of the GL-PIR10C. At low sensitivity the sensor is suitable for small areas, up to 5 meters, while at high sensitivity it can detect motion up to 12 meters away. The user can also adjust the length of time that the light will remain on when motion is detected, from a minimum of 10sec to a maximum of approximately 7 minutes.

The GL-PIR10C is an ideal choice as a motion sensor to directly control almost all popular 100V to 240V AC light sources. It can handle rated loads of up to 1200W for incandescent lamps and 300W for energy-saving lamps. An adjustable bracket and swivelling pivot allows the sensor to be aimed precisely to provide the area coverage required by the user.

GlacialLight has designed the GL-PIR10C to be eco-friendly and reduce power consumption, with the environment in mind. The sensor's power consumption is only 0.1W while idle and 0.45W while operating. Operating temperatures are from -20 to 40C.

Phototron to Close Greners.com Acquisition on July 9th

EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

(GE) Brookshire Brothers (Lufkin, Texas) operates 72 retail supermarkets in an area covering Texas and Louisiana. Supporting its simple mission to Create a satisfied customer! the company recently launched a facility-wide lighting update including in-store, parking lot, exterior signage and refrigerated case fixtures. Using a myriad of new linear fluorescent lighting (LFL) and LED technologies from GE Lighting, Brookshire Brothers will, once all of its stores have been completed, reduce its annual operating costs more than $235,000 while establishing a model for energy-efficient lighting renovations at its stores.

When we looked at options to impact our total energy costs, we identified several areas at different stores where new lighting, including LED fixtures, made a compelling case, both indoors and out, said Eric Johnson, director of construction for Brookshire Brothers. Shortly after we met with our GE Lighting team to understand the anticipated electricity and maintenance savings, then made what was an easy decision to move forward.

Indoor retrofits return significant savings

Re-lamping of linear fluorescent lighting (LFL) fixtures is now complete at 69 Brookshire Brothers locations where GEs more energy-efficient 28-watt T8 has replaced 32-watt bulbs in approximately 450 four-lamp fixtures per 30,000-square-foot supermarket. These efforts include the replacement of existing ballasts with GEs high-efficiency UltraMax electronic ballasts as needed. Each UltraMax ballast installed will create additional energy savings of approximately eight watts per fixture.

Brookshire Brothers will save an average $3,200 per store per year in electricity expense after switching to GEs 28-watt solution a more than $220,000 annual cost benefit to the company based on a $.09 kWh electricity rate and 12 hours use per day. The company plans to explore even more efficient 25-watt GE lamps and UltraStart ballasts to suit future needs.

Outdoor area light efficiency adds up

Five supermarket parking lots, including company headquarters, have thus far been retrofit with GE Evolve LED Area Lights, bringing high-quality white illumination and energy savings to these spaces. Brookshire Brothers first worked closely with GE to create improved new lighting designs in the lots. GEs 210-watt Area Lights displaced 400-watt high-intensity discharge (HID) fixtures in two lots while in the others, 1,000-watt HIDs were replaced by 270-watt Area Lights.

As a result of this substantial watts-per-fixture reduction, Brookshire Brothers will save more than $14,000 annually in electricity costs and further stands to diminish maintenance time and expense. Where its 400- and 1,000-watt HID fixtures had been rated for 20,000- and 15,000-hours life respectively, GEs new Area Lights have a rated life of 50,000 hours.
