9-17-09 - Breakthrough Design Cuts Cost Of Led Light Bulbs By 40%

LOS ANGELES, CA - (Sept. 17, 2009) - LED lighting is still too expensive for the vast majority of consumers despite the 80% energy savings that LEDs give over traditional incandescent lighting. The LED light bulbs that are currently available use similar designs with heavy metal heatsinks to stay cool that keeps the costs of LED bulbs impractical where they don't pay for themselves until after 3-4 years of typical usage. Eternaleds Inc. has introduced the world's first LED flood lights, the Quanta-9 and Quanta-18, to use a new design that allows them to be made roughly 40% cheaper and allow the bulbs to pay for themselves in less than 2 years at 8 hours usage a day. The Eternaleds Quanta-9 uses 9W to provide the light equivalent of 50W incandescent floodlights while the Quanta-18 uses 18W to provide the light equivalent of 100W incandescent floodlights. Both have a rated lifetime of 35,000 hours.

"The price of LEDs themselves is dropping steadily but not quick enough. We found the next area to innovate was the use of material and design of the bulb" explains Jeff Chan, Founder of Los Angeles-based Eternaleds, Inc. "Our new design increases surface area and air flow while using about 40% less metal than competing products. By purposely using mostly plastic, our bulbs perform better, stay cooler and are priced low enough to pay for themselves in less than 2 years with typical usage."

Light Emitting Diodes, or LED screw-in light bulb replacements are starting to get more exposure however many people still don"t understand the best places to use them yet. The light they emit is mostly directional, which makes flood and spot lights a prime candidate for replacement with LED. The Eternaleds Quanta series LED light bulbs have the following features:
-    Affordably Priced - The current retail price for LED flood lights that replace 50W and 100W incandescent flood lights are $90 and $140. The Quanta-9 and Quanta-18 are 30-40% less expensive at $54.99 and $99.99 respectively.
-    2 year Return On Investment With Typical Usage - The Quanta-9 and Quanta-18 pay for themselves in 2 years at 8 hours usage a day, 1.5 years at 12 hours a day and 8 months at 24 hours usage a day.
-    Long Lasting - The Quanta Series bulbs are rated at 35,000 hours or 12x longer than incandescent flood lights. At 8 hours usage a day, they will last 12 years.

The Eternaleds Quanta-9 and Quanta-18 LED Light Bulbs come in two colors, Warm White and Daylight White. They can be ordered directly from Eternaleds.com at a list price of $54.99 and $99.99 respectively. Every purchase comes with a two-year warranty and 30-day money-back guarantee.

7-15-09 - Liquid-Filled LED Bulbs Finally Make "Green" Lighting Cool

Eternaleds, Inc., announces the debut of their HydraLux-4 LED light bulb, the world's first of its kind that uses liquid-cooling technology to look and function exactly like a regular light bulb.

LOS ANGELES, CA - (July 15, 2009) - Americans are frustrated at the lack of environmentally friendly lighting options in decorative applications like chandeliers, sconces or decorative lamps. Going "green" usually means replacing an incandescent bulb with a compact fluorescent (CFL) and sacrificing the good look that high-end fixtures give with incandescents.  Eternaleds Inc. has introduced the world's first liquid-cooled LED light bulb, the HydraLux-4, that gives true 360 degree light to finally allow consumers to maintain that "high-end" look, while getting the superior energy efficiency of LEDs. The Eternaleds Hydralux-4 LED Light bulb consumes 4W to provide the light equivalent of 25W incandescents with a lifetime of 35,000 hours.


"Most other LED globe shaped bulbs use metal or fans to surround the bulbs to keep the components inside cool. This design only allows light to come out of the top half of the bulb, like a spotlight." explains Jeff Chan, Founder of Los Angeles-based Eternaleds, Inc. "
"This is the first LED light bulb to give true 360 degree light and really opens up  applications that people can replace with LED lighting."

LED, or light-emitting diode technology, has become a popular option in light bulbs in the last several years because of their superior performance over both incandescents and CFLs. The Eternaleds HydraLux-4 has many benefits over these and other LED light bulbs including:

-    Saves money. At 8 hours a day, the HydraLux-4 only costs $1.75 per year* to run, saving an average of $157.00 over the lifetime of the bulb in electricity and bulb replacement costs.
-    Long Lasting. The HydraLux-4 is rated at 35,000 hours. At 8 hours usage per day, it will last 12 years.
-    Non-Hazardous. These bulbs contain no mercury, unlike CFLs so they don't require special disposal or clean up. Likewise, the liquid inside is equivalent in composition to baby oil so it's completely non-toxic and UL compliant.
-    Fully-dimmable. Many LED and CFL bulbs are not capable of being dimmed. The HydraLux-4 is fully dimmable, allowing consumers to create the ambiance they desire by using existing dimmer switches.
-    Outdoor-approved. Many LED bulbs have their components exposed to open air so are can't be used outdoors. The HydraLux-4 is one of the few LED bulbs approved for both indoor and outdoor use.
-    Cool to the touch. The HydraLux-4 runs cool, cutting down on cooling costs as well as being safe in household applications.

Eternaleds plans to announce 8W, 12W and 16W versions of the HydraLux by the end of 2009.

The Eternaleds HydraLux-4 comes in two colors, Warm White and Daylight White, and can be ordered directly from Eternaleds.com at a list price of $34.99. Every purchase comes with a two-year warranty and 30-day money-back guarantee.
