Rancho Cucamonga, California – Sept. 20, 2011 — To address marketplace uncertainty caused by a proliferation of LED T8 products which do not meet customer expectations, Kumho Electric is offering a 30-Day Free Trial of its Earthcare Direct Replacement LED T8 lamps.
Unlike many other LED T8 replacements, Kumho’s Earthcare lamp does not require fixture rewiring, is tested to UL standards, and has an industry leading efficiency of over 100 lumens per watt.
“Only by seeing LED T8 replacements at work, in their own fixtures, can end users fairly evaluate the suitability of any particular brand as a replacement for a fluorescent in their application,” notes Alan Medak, General Manager, Kumho Electric USA. “DOE testing has demonstrated the dramatic differences between different LED-T8 products in light output and distribution, color rendering, system efficacy, and other factors. That’s why we are offering samples of our light on a 30-Day Free Trial,” Medak said.
Working with most common instant start ballasts, the EarthCare T8 LED utilizes a revolutionary design that makes switching to LEDs as easy as changing a light bulb. No rewiring or special handling is required.
The 30-Day Free Trial offer is available to qualified end users, specifiers, contractors and others. Visit LED T8 Offer for additional information and to request samples.
Unlike most other LED T8s, the Kumho Earthcare lamp can simply be snapped into an existing fluorescent fixture, eliminating the time consuming, costly process of re-wiring T8 fixtures to accommodate an LED lamp. Using one third less energy than a traditional linear T8, the lamp offers instant brightness, producing a 110° beam that spreads illumination uniformly, without hot spots or glare.
The lamp maintains brightness over its 50,000 hour rated life with low lumen depreciation. With little heat generation, it reduces load on building cooling systems. The lamps are environmentally friendly, producing no UV light and containing no mercury.
Well -suited for difficult applications like refrigerator/freezer cases, high-vibration situations, or hard to reach locations, Kumho Electric’s Earthcare T8 LED also works well for general lighting, merchandise displays, offices or anywhere building managers want environmentally friendly LED lighting. It has a five year warranty.
The Earthcare T8 LED is available in a 4 ft. length in 5000K and 4100K color temperatures. For additional information or a spec sheet on the lamp, visit https://www.kumhoelectric.com.
