LongTech, pioneers in LED lighting, announced
today that beginning 1Q 2012, LongTech will be selling LED T8 florescent
tube replacements assembled in the USA. LongTech's 16 Watt , 4 foot, T-8
LED tube will replace a typical 40 Watt florescent tube (includes
ballast), providing immediate energy savings of 60%, which does not
include savings for service and replacement costs. Based on an average
USA energy cost of 15 cents per kilowatt, the tube has a 24 month payback.
Features of LongTech's LED Tube Lights.
-- Energy Saving - LongTech LED tubes consume low power. Power efficiency
reaches 90 percent, with energy saving of 60% compared with
traditional florescent tubes.
-- Environmental Friendly - LongTech LED tubes contain no ultraviolet,
infrared ray radiation, mercury or heat from the illumination.
-- Long Life Span - LongTech LED tube has a 50,000 - 80,000 hours life
span compared to 8,000 hours for traditional florescent tubes. Good
heat dissipation techniques are achieved through the use of LongTech's
Eco-Watt technology.
-- Ultra Bright - using high illumine LITKY LED's separate LongTech from
others.
-- Stable - LongTech's superior component quality control and 48 hour USA
burn in procedures makes it top in its class.
Sam Zhou, LongTech's VP of Product Development commented, "We
have worked hard over the last 2 years to develop and bring to market a
UL approved true T-8 high quality Led tube. Our Eco-Watt technology and
LITKY LED's make us shine above the rest. We have listened to our
distributors and by assembling here in the USA we now will be able to
handle the faster to market demand and quality concerns."
Mr. Abecassis, further commented, "Demand for replacement T-8 tubes is
huge, 80 percent of all bulbs used in office building are florescent
tubes. Coupled with the fact that the US Government has recognized the
benefits of LEDs as see on their web site and have a law that in place
that all incandescent bulbs may not be sold in 2012. Our projected demand
for T-8 tubes is 18,000,000 over the next 24 months."
