by Shane Henson — March 30, 2012—Three lines of Lemnis Lighting’s Pharox light-emitting diode (LED) replacement bulbs are now available for building owners and facilities managers seeking affordable, energy-efficient bulbs.
Lemnis Lighting, which was selected as a California Clean Technology 2011 “Game Changer” for “Innovation in LED Technology” by Grow-California, sells the bulbs exclusively through pharox-led.com. Competitively priced, the lowest-priced bulb, the 200-lumen Pharox BLU, breaks the $5 price point with a suggested retail price of $4.95.
According to the company, all three lines—Pharox BLU, Pharox XL and Pharox PRO—offer customers what they need from an LED bulb without piling on added cost for features that aren’t necessary for their situation.
The new Pharox BLU 200-lumen model is a “no frills,” non-dimmable consumer LED and is the first branded LED replacement bulb with a price that starts under $5, says Lemnis Lighting. It comes with a one-year warranty. The next step up in lumens is the 350-lumen Pharox BLU bulb, with a suggested retail price of $6.95, also with a one-year warranty.
The XL line is aimed at home and commercial customers who want to be sure of a longer-lasting LED and the three-year/35,000-hour warranty to back it up. Finally, the Energy Star-qualified Pharox PRO bulbs, which the company says will be available soon, are designed with the commercial and rebate-driven customer in mind and will carry a five-year replacement guarantee.
The three lines of Pharox LED replacement bulbs offer consumers of all stripes the same reliability they expect from incandescent bulbs, with vastly increased life expectancy and vastly decreased energy usage, says the company. A typical 40-watt incandescent bulb costs approximately $5.69 per year to use at $0.13 per kWh, three hours a day. The equivalent Pharox 350 lumen bulb (BLU, XL and PRO) costs just $0.85 per year in energy use.
