At last someone has come up with Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting ceiling fixtures which is claimed a world first. Up to now, ceiling fixtures with LEDs were not commercially successful, mainly due to the low luminous flux levels and the directional property of LED lighting. The manufacturer SHARP Corporation of Japan, claims 3 of the 6 models (which come with their proprietary �Eco Functions�) will also reduce energy consumption by up to 65% (switched on against switched off).These innovative designs are a joint collaboration of Inoue Laboratory of NARA Women�s University and Sharp Corporation.
Well, in the meantime we seem to be seeing the last few months of the reign of the great incandescent lamp, along with the use of the term �watts� to illustrate the level of brightness. (Soon it will be Lumens). The EU�s ban on 75w lamp from the 1st September, will ensure that no one will manufacture them in this region (or import) while you will see less and less of them on the store shelves as well, till the stocks last. Next it will be time of the lesser folks like 60w, 40w and 25w.The new contenders for the title, the CFLs and LEDs will start battling it out soon for supremacy. It remains to be seen who will prevail ultimately as the best energy saver and most feature filled. At the present rate, at least big timers like Zumtobel, Siemens, Phillips, Osram, Sharp, etc. seem to be having their money (though somewhat hesitantly) on the latter.� IP64 design for indoor or outdoor installations, maximizing protection against water damage or dust particles damaging the delicate electronic circuitryFor more information, please visit www.lumenpulse.com .� 100% full load burn-in test. The burn-in tests involves operating a newly manufactured power supply, usually at rated load, for a period of time in order to force component failures or other latent defects before the unit is delivered to a customer. This ensures the safety of the unit for the end user before it is applied to a specific task.� Fully isolated plastic case that is resistant to external influences such as water (for external use)
