by Ann Withanee — June 6, 2011—TCP, a leader in energy-efficient lighting technology, is introducing a LED lamp series of products that feature a powerful combination of category-leading performance, function, and value, according to a recent announcement. These new products further enhance TCP’s already comprehensive line-up of energy efficient lighting for commercial, institutional, retail, hospitality and educational applications.
n:fusion, TCP’s newest LED lamps provide the industry’s best directional light output performance, says the company, by combining cutting-edge ballast technology, optical design and manufacturing capability, plus the world’s leading LED driver componentry, making them excellent alternatives to traditional PAR halogens.
n:fusion LED’s aluminum provides excellent heat dissipation and high efficiency. Plus, n:fusion uses the highest-quality lamp optics, which are computer designed and precision manufactured for perfect directional light beam control, with no annoying “hot spots” or beam washout effect.
TCP’s new n:fusion LED lamps consist of PAR20, PAR30, PAR38 applications, and are all available in either narrow flood (25 degree) and flood (40 degree) beam spreads. These lamps are designed for a wide variety of general lighting applications including track and recessed lighting. All of TCP’s new LED lamps dim uniformly down to 0 percent, with no color-shifting, hum or “flicker.” Also, the center-beam candlepower (CBCP) performance exceeds halogen and LED competition for similar beam angles, while providing uniform beam patterns.
To ensure consistency within installations, TCP utilizes a three-step color binning process, which provides uniform color from lamp to lamp while maintaining efficacy levels of more than 60 lumens-per-watt. These new LED lamps exceed the ENERGY STAR lumen requirements for 90W PAR38, 75W PAR30, and 45W PAR20 applications.
TCP has also added specialty LED MR16 spot and flood lamps, which feature excellent lumen output, long life and cooler operating performance. Available in 4.4 watt rating with 15 degree and 30 degree beam spread options, these products are perfect for small fixtures, pendant lights and display lighting applications.
