New Alternative to Light Bulbs Lasts 15 Years

In the forefront of solid state lighting that uses semiconductors, Cyberlux Corporation has announced a new line of soft white lighting products that are guaranteed to last for 15 years.

“Because our lights are heatless, they are much more desirable in a kitchen environment than halogen bulbs or flurorescent tubes,” said the company’s president, Mark Schmidt. “They are cool to the touch and have a guaranteed light life that’s longer than most people live in their homes.”

The new products — which use long-lasting diodes instead of bulbs and are essentially maintenance-free — will be used in closets, inside cabinets and under cabinets to illuminate kitchen and bathroom counters.

Cyberlux says that its lighting elements consume 92% less energy than incandescent elements and can perform for more than 20 years compared to 750 hours for traditional bulbs.

Several of its products are designed to address emergencies such as power outages or critical security lighting needs.
