New 18 Watt LED Lamp For Apartment Parking Garage Retrofits
RedBird LED Inc., an Atlanta, GA. firm that specializes in the design, manufacturing and distribution of high quality energy efficient LED linearlighting products for apartment and multifamily applications, is pleased to announce their second certification by the DesignLights Consortium (DLC) of their Cardinal™ LED Linear Retrofit products. The RedBird LED 18 watt Cardinal™ LED Linear Replacement lamp has now also been certified by DLC as a Qualified Product.
The 18 watt linear replacement lamp is the most popular model used for one to one fluorescent lighting retrofits of standard 32 watt T8 or 40 watt T12 fluorescent lamps. When retrofitting with a Cardinal LED tube the user will expect to save as much as 55% on their energy consumption when compared to a standard 40 watt T12 model or 40% on a 32 watt T8. With this level of savings and the rebates available, the customer can see paybacks as low as 9 months in many states. A tube-for-tube retrofit of 32 watt T8s lamps with our 18 watt linear replacement lamps typically delivers a 15-20% increase in measured lux levels, when before and after retrofit data is collected. These increased lighting levels provide optimal performance for most commercial office and retail settings.
Only LED Tube Light to Receive DesignLights Certification
Culminating several years of development and testing, the Cardinal™ LED Linear Replacement Lamp has become both the first, second, and still the only LED tube light in the world to receive DLC Certification. With the recent addition of two more of RedBird LED’s Linear Replacement Lamp products on the DLC Qualified Product List, it is noteworthy that they are all in the top 1% when it comes to efficacy. When the 12,160 LED lighting products on the DLC Qualified Product List are sorted for efficacy as measured in lumens/watt, the RedBird LED products come in with four out of the top twelve slots at 3rd, 7th, 10th and 12th highest efficacy.
Jonathan
Eppstein, President of RedBird LED commented, “While we were ecstatic to have
been the first, and only LED Linear Replacement Lamp to have qualified for DLC
Certification with our 22 watt product in May, the DLC Certification for our 18
watt lamp is an even more exciting event. We expect the DLC Certification of
the 18 watt Cardinal Lamp to dramatically increase the adoption and deployment
of this breakthrough product.
Having both our 22 and 18 watt LED
tubes on the DLC Qualified Product List solidifies our position as the market
leader in this sector of the LED lighting industry.”
