LEDtronics announces its latest generation of R30 LED Reflector spotlight bulbs. These direct incandescent replacement bulbs combine advanced Light Emitting Diode (LED) technologies, standard 25mm Edison bases and light optimizing designs to produce vivid light.

Having LED operating lives of up to 11 years and seven sunlight-visible LED light colors (as well as infrared) from which to select, solid-state R30 LED bulbs are a practical and economical way to integrate ornamental illumination into what were formerly maintenance-intensive applications. Furthermore, says LEDtronics, an LED cluster lamp continues to provide light even if one or more emitters fail, unlike the failure of filament in an incandescent bulb. R30 LED bulbs are designed to perform well in systems subjected to voltage dips or surges. Integrated current-limited resistors ensure that no circuit modifications are required.

Colored lenses or filters are not needed since LEDs emit colored light that is determined by the composition of the semiconductor material comprising the diode. Intensity and color remain stable over the lamp's life. LED technology is an energy-efficient light source; saving 80% to 90% of energy costs compared to a 55-watt or 65-watt incandescent R30 lamp. Because LEDs use very little energy and are virtually maintenance-free, the cost savings are substantial, according to LEDtronics.

R30 LED bulbs are available in five light emitting angles (15°, 20°, 30°, 40° and 95°) and in 120 volts AC. Other voltages from 12V to 240V­AC or DC­are available for qualifiified customers. With a power draw of only 4.5Watts, LEDtronics points out that the savings add up quickly over the 65Watt incandescent R30 they replace. R30 LED colors available are Warm White 3000 Kelvin, Pure White 5500Kelvin, Cool White 8000Kelvin, 633nm Red, 592nm Yellow, 525nm Aqua Green and 470nm Blue. Infrared lamps are offered in wavelengths of 850nm, 880nm and 940nm.

Solid-state design renders LEDs impervious to electrical and mechanical shock, vibration, frequent switching and environmental extremes. With an average lifespan of 100,000-plus hours (11 years) — up to 50,000 hours for white LEDs — LED bulbs operate reliably year after year and are appropriate for many energy-saving utilizations. R30 LED bulbs are a good solution for decorative and nighttime task-lighting applications, as uplights/downlights for wall-washing, tree-washing, and other decorative lighting. R30 LED bulbs can be used as individual pixels in large dot-matrix screens, digital time/temperature signs, or full-color display screens.

Prices for R30 LED bulbs range from $82.74 to $154.74 each, depending on LED technology and LED color. Large quantity discounts are available. R30 LED bulbs carry a three-year limited warranty.
