LED*Waves’ New Replacement LED Products Recognized by Illuminating Engineering Society

“We are very pleased to have LED*Waves’ LED bulbs recognized by IES, and to be included in their respected Progress Report,” said Joel Slavis, President of LED*Waves. “Their small footprint and exceptional brightness make our bulbs among the highest quality LED lights available in the world.”

The IES Progress Report recognizes significant product developments and improvements to the lighting industry. The annual report, compiled by the IES Progress Committee, will be published in the January 2009 of Lighting Design and Application (LD + A) magazine. The publication will feature pictures and a description of each product accepted for the report.

PAR30 14-Watt, PAR20 8-Watt and MR-16 5-Watt LED lights warrant merit due to their high light output, long lifespan, and capacity to manage thermal energy far better than traditional lighting products. The PAR30 14-Watt represents the latest breakthrough in high output LED light sources, delivering 900 lumens in Cool White (4000 – 4500K) and 720 lumens in Warm White (2800K – 3600K) for unsurpassed performance in any general lighting application. The PAR30 LED is a powerhouse of illumination with a beam spread from 15 degrees to 120 degrees, and is designed to replace a 75-watt halogen bulb.

LED*Waves’ PAR20 has plug and play compatibility that is ideal for worldwide use. The PAR20’s three 3-watt Cree XLamp® XREs create 500 lumens (5000 – 5500K) of Cool White light and 400 lumens (3000 – 3500K) of Warm White light, a perfect replacement for a 50-watt halogen bulb.

The MR-16 5-Watt is an all-purpose LED bulb that is usable with any low-voltage fixture or system that uses a DC or magnetic transformer. The MR-16 obsoletes a 35-watt halogen bulb with its trio of low-energy 1.3-watt Cree XLamp® XREs that produce 270 lumens (5000 – 5500K) of Cool White light and 240 lumens (3000 – 3500K) of Warm White light.
