TORRANCE, CA – July 17, 2009 — LEDtronics® announces the EXL-TPW Series Pure White LED Exit Light Bulbs that presents a much more reliable alternative to conventional T6 incandescent exit-sign tubes. Brighter, longer lasting, dramatically more power-efficient and maintenance-free, the EXL-TPW Series of exit-sign bulbs offers a sensible choice when it comes to replacing energy-hungry, short-lived and breakage-prone old-technology incandescent bulbs.

Because LEDs have no filament, their solid-state design renders them impervious to shock, vibration, frequent switching and environmental extremes. With an average lifespan of more than 50,000 hours (5.7-plus years), white LED bulbs operate more than 20 times longer than the equivalent incandescent bulb! LED lamps produce almost no heat, and use up to 90% less operating power than equivalent filament-based bulbs, making them as friendly to the environment as they are to the operating budget.

The flame-retardant and impact-resistant polycarbonate resin construction of the LEDtronics EXL-TPW Series LED bulbs allows for greater durability as well as visibility in bright light when it may be too light to see your typical incandescent bulb light up. Complying with UL924 light output requirements, the EXL-TPW series exit LED bulbs provide the assurance of reliability when it comes to brightly guiding the way out of emergency situations such as heavy smoke. They are the ideal solution for a wide variety of applications ranging from above doorways in offices, emergency exits in hospitals, stairways in parking structures to theater fire exits, in addition to architectural décor.

Designed on standard bases, the LEDtronics replacements can be directly installed, requiring no modifications to the socket or to the circuit that supplies power. The bulbs come in base options of E12 Candelabra Screw, 15mm E17 Intermediate Screw, and 15mm DC Bayonet, and can easily replace incandescents such as 20T6½ DC or IF and 15T6. The EXL-TPW LED bulbs are compatible with most standard exit signs and are suitable for use in both single- or double-sided fixtures.

All Series EXL-TPW LED bulbs are rated for incoming voltages of 120VAC and put out from 21 to 25 lumens (depending on base) of unfiltered, 5000K Pure White light, using less than 1 watt of energy. In addition, the LED bulbs come with a 5-year warranty.

Exit signs are lit 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. For facility managers concerned with balancing durability with containing costs, replacing your exit signs from incandescent bulbs to LED can yield 80%-90% energy savings and reduce bulb replacement costs, while keeping your premises safe and your exit door locations well lit more of the time! Savings from reduced maintenance costs and downtime quickly return the capital investment expenditure!

The LEDtronics EXL-TPW-R exit light LED bulbs retail for $19.95 each. Availability is stock to 4-6 weeks for special requirements.
