Westinghouse Provides Energy-Saving Solutions

Westinghouse, as a provider of energy-efficient lamps, encourages every consumer to make wise and informed energy-saving lamp purchases. With that in mind, the Westinghouse offering of lamps has evolved to include the latest energy-saving technologies on the market today, including LED (light-emitting diode), compact fluorescent, reduced wattage fluorescent and Eco-Halogen lamp types. Keep in mind that the average household has more than 40 sockets for lamps, ranging from table lamps to ceiling fixtures.

By changing existing lamps to more efficient lamps, consumers will see significant benefits:
• Saving time and effort — Energy-saving lamps can last more than twenty years (LEDs), compared to about 11 months for a standard incandescent lamp.
• Saving energy and money — Energy-saving lamps cost less to operate than incandescent lamps.
• Saving the environment — Energy-saving lamps make a positive change for the environment by reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

Toshiba G25 400 Series LED Lamp

Toshiba International Corporation recently released its G25 400 Series. The G25 400 Series is a direct replacement for 40-watt incandescent lamps, but lasts up to 40 times longer and uses up to 79 percent less energy.

Some other features include:
•400 Lumens
•Color temperatures of 2700K & 4000K
•Dimmable & non-dimmable options available
•Reaches full brightness instantly
•Omni-directional design
•Frosted lens
•Emits up to 70% less UV light compared to halogens
•Mercury and lead free

Why Choose FOCUS for LED?

Energy Efficient and Environmentally Friendly
• Long Term Cost Savings - LEDS on average use 75% less energy than traditional incandescent or halogen bulbs.
• Have More Fixtures and Use Less Power - FOCUS LED transformers are smaller so they use less power and are
designed to allow for 4 to 5 times more fixtures per run.
• FOCUS LEDS offer up to 50,000 hours average life compared to 2,000 hours for a regular halogen bulb.
Not having to replace halogen light bulbs frequently will save you both time and money.

Kim Lighting, the premiere manufacturer of architectural outdoor lighting, announces the launch of its Bounce® LED, The Entablature® LED, Era® Lantern LED and Matrix LED luminaires and Matrix and The Entablature® HID to LED upgrade kits for area, site, and street applications. Era® Lantern LED is a transitionally styled luminaire that complements both traditional and contemporary architectural themes. Era Lantern LED adds a new dimension to applying the superior performance of Kim’s exclusive MicroEmitter® LED technology system.

Bounce® LED is a clean cylindrical form that harmonizes diverse architectural environments. The Bounce LED product line is designed to surpass tough demands, such as energy efficiency, glare control, light trespass, aesthetics and structural integrity.

Entablature® LED can be whatever the specifier wants it to be; a contemporary box luminaire reflecting the latest in industrial design, or an intriguing extension of the surrounding architecture.

Matrix LED Series is a comprehensive product family offering a wide range of mounting and performance features. The symmetric square body, pyramid roof, and fine detail produce luminaires of exceptional design flexibility. Matrix LED is Kim’s only square post top product capable of covering the center areas of large parking lots with one luminiare.
