Exploring Comprehensive Lighting & Controls

Just announced: New super long life GE T8 lamps with extended warranties!  

The 28 watt T8 has an average rated life of up to 55,000 hours when used with an instant start ballast, and 84,000 hours when used with a programmed start ballast.  The 25 watt T8 extends life to 70,000 hours on instant start and carries an 84,000 hour life on programmed start.

When purchased as a system, the warranty on the 28 watt lamp is 48 months when paired with a GE UltraMax ballast, and 84 months when paired with an UltraStart series ballast.  For the 25 watt, lamp warranty is 60 months on UltraMax and 84 months on UltraStart.  In all cases, system warranty on the ballast is 5 years.  Certain ballast model numbers are required to maintain the warranty length.  Contact your Hein sales associate today to learn more.

Still not convinced that LED lighting is poised for a nationwide takeover?  This slide from Lutron Electronics shows the projected sales graph for LED, halogen, CFL, and incandescent lamps through the year 2020.  As you can see, it won't be long until the light sources that we've long been familiar with begin to fade from the mainstream, leaving LED as the dominant choice for  illumination.  As Americans use less and less energy, taxes will be spread over a smaller amount of kilowatt hours, resulting in higher energy rates.  

Contact your friends at Hein Electric Supply to find out how they can help outfit your facility with the latest in LED energy saving technology.

Philips Lighting Recalls Endura and Ambient LED Bulbs Due to Shock Hazard

http://www.cpsc.gov/en/Recalls/2013/Philips-Lighting-Recalls-Endura-and-Ambient-LED-Bulbs/

Recently the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall by Philips of their Endura 12-watt and Ambient 12.5-watt LED dimmable light bulbs.  This product is a Philips’ energy star lamp, one of their original designs that had a yellow-orange and grey exterior housing (image below).  It was sold under the Endura LED brand in professional channel, and Ambient LED in consumer channel.  Philips no longer makes this product but still sells it, with primary distribution channels like Home Depot & Amazon.  This is the second recent recall of LED bulbs sold at Home Depot, as there was a recall of several “Ecosmart” branded lamps that were made by Lighting Science Group a few months ago.
