TCP, Inc. Adds Innovative CFL/LED Hybrid to Its SpringLamp Product Line
Aurora, OHIO - (November 20, 2008) - Energy efficient lighting innovator TCP, Inc. is combining the benefits of its compact fluorescent lamps with new LED technology to create the SpringLamp® three-way CFL/LED light bulb. The three-way CFL/LED hybrid switches between 19-watts, 30-watts and a 1-watt LED night light, comparable to a 50/100/150-watt incandescent bulb, for use in table lamps and floor lamps.
Lasting an average of 10,000 hours (more than 10 times longer than an incandescent), the three-way CFL/LED is manufactured using lead-free glass. This gives the bulb better lumen maintenance over its life and a color temperature closest to incandescent light. A new amalgam technology provides cooler operating temperatures for consistent performance in any position.
