RedBird LED Inc., is pleased to announce their second certification by
the DesignLights Consortium (DLC) of their Cardinal™ LED Linear Retrofit
products. In May, RedBird LED received certification by the DLC for their 22
watt LED Linear Replacement Lamp at both 4100K and 5000K CCTs. The RedBird LED 18 watt Cardinal™ LED Linear Replacmentlamp has now also been certified by DLC
as a Qualified Product. Culminating several years of development and testing,
the Cardinal™ LED Linear Replacement Lamp has become both the first, second,
and still the only LED tube light in the world to receive DLC ation.
By establishing the Cardinal LED tube light's position on the Qualified Product List of the DLC, RedBird LED has ensured that these products will be eligible for all rebate programs currently in place among the DLC's membership and will facilitate rapid approval by other rebate sources as well.
The DLC is the premier resource for high-quality review and certification of LED lighting products that are not covered under the Energy STAR designated categories. The DLC membership is a nationwide consortium of utilities, EMCs and energy-efficiency programs across the United States and Canada. For more information about the DesignLights Consortium please visit their website at www.designlights.org.
The new DLC Certification covers the 18 watt models at both 4100K and 5000K CCTs. The 18 watt linear replacement lamp is the most popular model used for one to one fluorescent lighting retrofits of standard 32 watt T8 or 40 watt T12 fluorescent lamps. A tube-for-tube retrofit of 32 watt T8s lamps with our 18 watt linear replacement lamps typically delivers a 15-20% increase in measured lux levels, when before and after conversion data is collected. These increased lighting levels provide optimal performance for most commercial office and retail settings.
JonathanEppstein, President of RedBird LED commented, “While we were ecstatic to have
been the first, and only LED Linear Replacement Lamp to have qualified for DLC
Certification with our 22 watt product in May, the DLC Certification for our 18
watt lamp is an even more exciting event. We expect the 22 watt Cardinal Linear
Replacement lamp to have a greater impact on the adoption and deployment of
this breakthrough product. The 22 watt linear replacement
lamp product is a popular choice for parking garages and high-bay situations
where the higher lighting output is
better deployed. Having both our 22 and 18 watt LED
tubes on the DLC Qualified Product List solidifies our position as the market
leader in this sector of the LED lighting industry.”
