Nexxus Lighting, Inc. (NEXS) Announces Full ENERGY STAR® Qualification for Two Array LED Light Bulbs

Nexxus Lighting Inc., a leader in high performance LED replacement light bulbs with its Array® Lighting line of products, today announced that the Array R30 3000K Flood and the 3000K Accent LED light bulbs can now be marketed with a life certification of 50,000 hours after receiving full ENERGY STAR qualification. In October of 2010, the bulbs earned the ENERGY STAR mark and now the final round of lumen maintenance testing demonstrates that each bulb will last the equivalent of 10 years when the lamp is on for twelve hours per day.

“All of the Array LED bulbs are designed to exceed ENERGY STAR performance criteria, and we are proud to say that Nexxus is the first manufacturer on the ENERGY STAR Qualified Lamps list to have LED reflector lamp replacements with a life claim of 50,000 hours,” stated Mike Bauer, President and CEO of Nexxus Lighting, Inc. in a press release. “We currently have several more Array bulbs in testing for the ENERGY STAR label, and we will continue to bring best in class, high performance LED replacement lamps to market.”

The Array Lighting line of products, including the R30s, is one of the first LED reflector lamp replacements to earn the full 50,000 hour certification. The bulbs were put through 12,500 hours of third party lumen maintenance testing and had to meet all EPA standards for lumen and color maintenance, efficiency, color rendering and more.

In the beginning of this month, a new Federal law went into effect that phases out the traditional standard 100-watt incandescent light bulbs. The majority of new bulbs will operate and look like the old-fashioned bulbs but they will have improved filament design which will make them 28% more efficient per the new law. Additionally, all new bulbs will be labeled with lumens instead of watts to describe the amount of light emitted versus amount of power used. Instead of a 100 watt bulb, customers will seek a 1600 lumens bulb. The increased initial cost will actually turn into a savings over the life of each bulb.

Nexxus Lighting holds 39 US and foreign patents on its Array Lighting products and has 32 patents pending. The LED bulbs use a unique approach to thermal management to ensure over 50,000 hours of reliable operation. Further, the Array bulbs decrease energy consumption up to 80% over the traditional incandescent and halogen bulbs.
