LED PAR36 bulb
We recently returned from the Outdoor Lighting Perspectives annual convention. The biggest news on the technology front was the introduction of a new LED PAR36 bulb. Although some of these LED bulbs have hit the Birmingham market during the past year, none of them compare to the quality and specifications of this new lamp.
Some of the features of this bulb:
- 6watt (over 80% reduction in power consumption)
- 3000 degrees Kelvin (warm white)
- 36 degree spread
- 50,000 hour rating
- IP67 rated for wet locations
- 5 year warranty
- Fits well light fixtures and other PAR36 fixtures
- Easily retrofittable since it has an input voltage range of 9-14 volts
A typical outdoor lighting retrofit from halogen bulbs to LED bulbs typically has an approximate 3-4 year payback. This new energy efficient and robust bulb makes a lighting upgrade very attractive.
