TORRANCE, CA — August 30, 2004 — LEDtronics expands its offerings of LED-sourced outdoor lighting products: The GardenLED™ Series GDL002
FloodLED™. The Series GDL002 FloodLED features 198 warm white
(3000K) 5mm discrete LEDs mounted on a printed circuit board, a rugged
metallic housing and sturdy base that all add up to a practically
unbreakable and long-lasting light source. The GDL002 is an
environmentally friendly approach to outdoor lighting that provides ample
light without generating light pollution, radiating excessive heat or
consuming large amounts of energy that accompany the operation of an
incandescent light. Requiring just 12V DC, this floodlight is the ideal
illuminator to accompany solar-powered systems and other alternative
power-generating systems. Other voltages and LED colors are available as
options pending factory approval.
The
GLD002 light housing measures 8.875"L x 3.25"W x 7.25"H
(225Lmm x 83Wmm x 184Hmm). Its compact size makes it easy to conceal among
shrubs or under stairways. Also, this versatile light can be installed on
walls, upside-down or upright, to bathe surfaces in light. The head of the
fixture can be adjusted vertically to optimize the direction of the
emitted light. Use the GDL002 FloodLED to light walkways, small signs,
landscaping, building exits, walls, pictures, etc. . . . Landscape
architects, groundskeepers, casinos, amusement park lighting designers,
building superintendents, facility management and environmentally aware
consumers will find the GDL002 to be an excellent, efficient and
extraordinary long lasting illuminator for a variety of applications as
well as an ideal replacement for a short-lived, energy-hungry incandescent
light.
The Series GDL002 FloodLED
complies with the worldwide Dark Skies initiative by eliminating the
unwanted glare, light trespass, energy waste and sky glow that accompany
traditional incandescent lamps. An estimated 30% of outdoor light
generated in the U.S. goes into space, flooding the skies and creating
electric haze that reduces stargazing. LEDs shine light in the direction
where it is needed, reducing the amount of light lost to the sky and
improving overall nighttime viewing.
Solid-state design renders
LEDs impervious to electrical and mechanical shocks, vibrations, frequent
switchings and environmental extremes. LEDs last for an average of 100,000
hours. That's over 10 years! Multiply the savings by the number of
landscape lighting units installed and the savings is significant. Lamps
perform well in applications subjected to voltage dips or surges.
Integrated current-limited resistors and polarity-protection diodes assure
that no circuit modifications are required. Additionally, with the use of
multiple LEDs, an LED lamp continues to provide light even if one or more
emitters fail unlike when the filament breaks in an incandescent bulb. LED
lamps use only 10% - 20% of the energy consumed by equivalent incandescent
lamps that when combined with their maintenance-free operation results in
substantial cost savings.
Founded in 1983, LEDtronics®
leads where others only follow when it comes to designing, manufacturing
and packaging state-of-the-art LEDs to meet the world's constantly
changing lighting needs. Our inventive product line encompasses an array
of direct incandescent lamp replacement Based LEDs, low-cost
snap-in and relampable Panel Mount LEDs, high intensity
sunlight-visible Discrete LEDs, PCB LED circuit board status
indicators, surface mount diodes SMT LED, full-spectrum rainbow RGB
LEDs and Infra-Red (IR) LEDs.
