Ever since we launched our new line of LED UberLight task lights in 2008, we’ve been telling all who will listen how wonderful they are.
Well the New York Times has confirmed that not only are LED lights more energy efficient than incandescent bulbs, they also require less energy in their production. In fact, “the energy used for incandescent bulbs is almost five times that used for compact fluorescent and LED lamps.
It won’t be long before the standard household 60W incandescent bulb is replaced by energy efficient LEDs. Read the full article here.
New UberLight 8000 Series LED Task Lights
Wow, what a busy week so far. Yesterday I write my first blog ever. Then later in the day we launch our new website. Today, I get to talk about something that we’ve been working on here at Reliable for the last 18 months, our new ÜberLight 8000 series LED task lights.
We first came up with the idea of creating an LED light well over 2 years ago. It seemed the logical next step in the evolution of our ÜberLight series of lights. We thought a couple of months of tooling, and we’d be off to the races. Boy were we wrong. The project was much more complicated than we originally expected.
The main obstacle was developing the fixture head. We used our 7000 series lights as a template, but we quickly realized that what makes a good halogen light does not necessarily make a good LED light. LED’s are so much more powerful. We use 28 bulbs in our fixture head. It took many months, and many tries to get them into the correct position, with the right balance of brightness and direction.
A year and a half later, I’m pleased to announce that we’ve produced a series of task lights that are absolutely wonderful to use. LED’s are so exciting to work with. The energy savings alone guarantees these lights are a sure investment for anyone who requires a quality task light. The life of these bulbs is simply amazing… up to 60,000 hours!
I just wish that someone would offer this technology of lights as replacements for our halogen ceiling lights at home. I’m really getting tired of changing those suckers.
