by AF 0512 i3 — May 17, 2010—Toshiba Corporation and Toshiba International Corporation (TIC), an emerging leader in solid-state lighting, announces its official entrance into the North American lighting market with the launch of the E-Core LED product line. The E-Core line was unveiled at LIGHTFAIR International, Las Vegas in May, along with E-Core prototype technologies for the global market, which include the lighting industry’s brightest LED products. Toshiba’s exhibit demonstrated its commitment to promoting advances in next-generation lighting, and to leading the way in establishing LEDs as energy-efficient, cost-saving lighting that address the needs of energy management solutions.
The E-Core product line for North America will feature an extensive lamp line and a high-efficiency LED downlight fixture line. The lamp line, which includes six reflector lamps in three colors and two A19 bulbs in two colors, features high brightness and energy efficiency in compact designs, says the company. The downlight line includes six models available in four colors, in which the brightest model reaches a luminous flux of 1250 lumens. E-Core products offer high energy efficiencies; long life and high reliability (no less than 40,000 hour life span; high-color rendering (Ra over 80); 3 year limited warranty; mercury free; low UV/IR radiation; and conform to UL standards.
Technology prototypes exhibited were LED bulbs with an industry leading 1690 lumens performance and a 260° lighting angle; GX53 Self Contained Round Units with a total luminous flux of 2000 lumens, which have the flexibility to easily switch LED units and achieve superior brightness levels from high ceilings; surface-mount ceiling lights that integrate a high-efficiency LED and a power circuit that produces 120 lm/W, surpassing the efficiency of fluorescent lights; LED flood lights that can light up tall buildings and bridges with the same central luminosity as metal halide lamps.
