by Rebecca Walker — August 24, 2009 — Feit Electric, a leading U.S.-based manufacturer and sup plier of energy-efficient light bulbs, is proud to announce its general purpose line of new, bright Performance LED light bulbs available in several popular ref lector sizes, plus a household “A19” shape.
Performance LED bulbs contain high-powered solid state LEDs (Light Emitting D iodes) that are harnessed with ocular lenses to produce bright directional light output suitable for both distance and close-range uses in general lighting appl ications, says the company.
They are true replacements for their halogen and incandescent counterparts ba sed on the light output they offer, but they last up to 30,000 hours and use up to 90 percent less energy. They save money, increase convenience and, where appl icable, reduce labor costs associated with bulb replacement.
Additional benefits of Performance LED light bulbs include resistance to shoc k and vibration (no filament), no mercury (no special disposal requirements), no UV emissions (no color fading of artwork or attracting of insects) and no warm up time for illumination or full brightness.
Established in 1978 by current president and CEO Aaron Feit, Feit Electric is a leading prime manufacturer of light bulbs with a specialty in energy-efficien t lighting products. For more information, see the Web site.
