25,000 lumens of energy efficient lighting without maintenance or mercury
Boulder, CO (April 27, 2009) - Albeo Technologies, a leading Solid-State Lighting (SSL) manufacturer, announces a breakthrough in white-LED lighting technology. Albeo's C-Series High-Bay has surpassed the next critical step in price and performance for large scale industrial-commercial deployment. ITL Laboratory independently verified to LM-79 standards Albeo's HB-B644-011C0-R5 performance: 25,650 lumens with an efficacy of 78.8 lm/W and power factor of 0.99 at 5000K CCT. The C-Series High-Bay has won both the DOE's 2008 NGL "market ready" award and Colorado's "2008 Sustainable Medal of Honor" award. Priced at better than $50 per kilo-lumen in quantities of 250 units or greater, the combined energy and maintenance savings enable customers to achieve pay-back in 1 to 3 years.
The C-Series white-LED general lighting platform is available in linear, dual linear, low bay, and high-bay configurations. Options include motion sensors, focusing and "batwing"optics, 120/240/270 VAC inputs, and 3K/4K/5K/6K color temperatures with CRIs ranging from 75 to 92. Applications include warehouses, garages, schools, manufacturing facilities, big-box retail outlets, cold-storage facilities, and other general lighting. Detailed specifications and IES files can be obtained at www.albeotech.com/products.html.
Built for reliability and lifetime, the C-Series High-Bay, combines toroidal transformers (the most reliable power conversion technology) with Albeo's TEMPR(TM) thermal management system to minimize LED junction temperature and maximize lifetime, light output and efficiency. "Our best-in-class thermal, mechanical, electrical, and optical designs allow us to deliver well over 25,000 lumens with an efficacy of nearly 80 lm/W," says Paul Winker, Product Line Manager, Albeo Technologies. "Putting fluorescent or high intensity discharge bulbs in hard to reach places is unproductive now that our LED High-Bay fixture can outperform them."
Albeo will be featuring the C-Series High-Bay at Lightfair International, 2009, May 5th through 7th, at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, New York, NY, booth 1386. Other Albeo products shown include Atmosphere(TM) cove lighting, Brilliance(TM) display case lighting, and Talea(TM) Under-cabinet task lighting. Albeo's SecurityLED(TM) fixtures will also be on display. Constructed with heavy-gauge polyester coated steel and "unbreakable" polycarbonate lenses, Albeo's SecurityLED(TM) products are ideal for high-abuse applications such as transit, correctional, and institutional facilities. Details for the entire product line are available on Albeo's website at www.albeotech.com.
