Next Generation of EcoSmart LED Light Bulbs Offer Advanced Technology

Completely Updated Line of LED Light Bulbs Achieving Higher Efficiencies with Greener Technology and Competitive Pricing

SATELLITE BEACH, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Apr. 1, 2014– Starting today, homeowners can lower energy cost without sacrificing lighting quality by installing a new generation of EcoSmart LED (Light Emitting Diode) light bulbs. Lighting Science, a leader in LED-based lighting, produced the bulbs to be the most affordably-priced, yet efficient light bulbs on the market. The new EcoSmart LED lamp line features a complete line of 34 lamp types, including the most popular A lamps, BR lamps, MR lamps, PAR lamps and decorative lamps.

The new line of EcoSmart LED bulbs are much more efficient than an equivalent CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp) and last 20 years or longer. The most popular are fully dimmable and eighteen of the new products have been Energy Star® certified. Unlike CFLs, the EcoSmart LED bulbs contain no mercury or lead, are completely recyclable and offer outstanding light quality. In most applications, consumers will see a significant reduction in their utility costs and the bulb will pay for itself in less than two years from energy and replacement savings alone.

The upgraded product line features several exciting new LED lamp types, including:

  • Glimpse Indirect Downlight Replacement – featuring a no-glare, hidden LED lighting array for smooth, comfortable lighting in main living areas
  • Gimbal Rotating Downlight Lamp – turns your recessed can into a changeable spotlight without having to buy or change the fixture housing
  • General Purpose replacement bulbs – exceptional quality and value for LED 40-watt or 60-watt equivalent light bulbs starting at only $6.97 per bulb

“Lighting Science is proud to introduce this technologically-advanced line for The Home Depot’s EcoSmart lighting products, firmly assuring that EcoSmart LED light bulbs are the most advanced on the market,” said Rick Davis, CEO, Lighting Science. “Consumers now have a performance-based, environmental and financial reason to choose LED lighting over fluorescent at the world’s largest home improvement retailer.”

Lights can be purchased at The Home Depot nationwide or on their website (www.homedepot.com).
