The Experts’ Pick

Trio of LED*Waves products selected for IES’s 2008 Progress Report

When you make stellar bulbs, sometimes you can’t escape the spotlight. Three LED*Waves light bulbs have been selected by Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) for inclusion in their 2008 Progress Report, which is the highest accolade a light manufacture can receive for its products – a sort of Oscars for light-makers. The 2008 Selections were carefully chosen by a Committee of more than 25 experts from all aspects of the lighting industry. LED*Waves is honored to have been recognized for our cutting edge LED bulbs.

IES is the recognized technical authority on illumination. Established in 1906, the non-profit IES has more than 100 local sections and is one of the most prestigious learned societies in North America.

LED*Waves’ All-Star Bulbs: All Powered by Cree XLamp® XRE LEDs

The PAR30 14-Watt LED represents the latest breakthrough in high output LED light sources, delivering 900 lumens in Cool White (4000 – 4500K) and 720 lumens in Warm White (2800K – 3600K) for unsurpassed performance in any general lighting application. The PAR30 LED is a powerhouse of illumination with a beam spread from 15 degrees up to 120 degrees, and is designed to replace a 75-watt halogen bulb.

LED*Waves’ PAR20 8-Watt LED has plug and play compatibility that is ideal for worldwide use. The PAR20’s three 3-watt Cree XLamp® XREs create 500 lumens (5000 – 5500K) of Cool White light and 400 lumens (3000 – 3500K) of Warm White light, a perfect replacement for a 50-watt halogen bulb.

The MR-16 5-Watt LED is an all-purpose LED bulb that is usable with any low-voltage fixture or system that uses a DC or magnetic transformer. The MR-16 obsoletes a 35-watt halogen bulb with its trio of low-energy 1.3-watt Cree XLamp® XREs that produce 270 lumens (5000 – 5500K) of Cool White light and 240 lumens (3000 – 3500K) of Warm White light.
