Gallium Sets New Standard For LED Downlight Performance

New Product Family Featuring Cree’s XLamp XR-E LED Provides 65 Lumens Per Watt System Efficacy

Fayetteville, GA – March 6, 2008 – Gallium Lighting announces the introduction of a high-performance LED downlight featuring the Cree XLamp XR-E LED. The Gallium GS6-CXRE luminaire delivers more than 1,300 lumens while reducing energy consumption by up to 60% relative to comparable compact fluorescent downlights.

Gallium’s advanced GS6 fixture was developed specifically for high-performance white LEDs. It features 1.5” (38mm) spacing between LEDs and a heavy-duty heat dissipation system to maximize efficiency and LED life, and a 45º shielding angle to maximize visual comfort. With the XR-E LED, the GS6 downlight fixture now achieves a total luminaire efficacy of up to 65 lumens per watt.

“LED technology is advancing at an astonishing rate,” said Keith Bahde, Ph.D., President of Gallium Lighting. “In the last twelve months, we have been able to boost the light output of our GS6 luminaire by 49%, while reducing the energy consumption by 18%. It can now provide more light than most 6-inch 32-watt compact fluorescent downlights while consuming only about half as much energy. We can now demonstrate a three-year payback in many applications.”

Gallium Lighting is a leading manufacturer of architectural LED downlighting for commercial buildings and high-end residences.

Gallium Introduces First Downlight Featuring Lumileds Rebel LED

Geoff — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 10:24:05 +0000

Breakthrough LED Technology Surpasses Compact Fluorescent Efficiency

Fayetteville, GA – August 27, 2007 – Gallium Lighting announces the introduction of the first commercial LED downlight featuring the Lumileds Rebel LED.

The Rebel LED provides an efficacy of up to 91 lumens per watt, which is 20% higher than the most efficient compact fluorescent lamps. Because Rebel LEDs have a hemispherical light distribution, the optical efficiency of an LED downlight is typically higher than a comparable compact fluorescent downlight. Independent Testing Laboratories, Inc recently verified that Gallium’s GS6 downlight can deliver more than 1,000 lumens while consuming only 21W, which is almost twice the efficacy of a comparable compact fluorescent downlight.

The Rebel LED also has a rated life of 50,000 hours, which is four times the life of compact fluorescent lamps. When operated during normal business hours, Rebel LEDs have a service life of 25 years.

“Since LEDs contain no mercury, our products have always been greener than compact fluorescent luminaires,” said Keith Bahde, Ph.D., President of Gallium Lighting. “With the latest generation of LEDs, we now offer substantial energy savings as well. Coupled with the maintenance cost savings, LED lighting provides an attractive return on investment. LEDs now outperform compact fluorescent in every respect.”

Gallium Lighting is a leading manufacturer of architectural LED downlighting for commercial buildings and high-end residences.

New York City Advertising Agency Installs Green Lighting

admin — Wed, 23 May 2007 01:01:16 +0000

NEW YORK, NY – May 24, 2007 – In recent years, LED technology has improved dramatically, to the point where high output LEDs can produce a brilliant white light with high efficiency. These properties make LEDs an attractive choice for general lighting in upscale offices and retail spaces.

Karlen Williams Graybill Advertising Inc, a full-service advertising agency, is one of the first companies in New York City to embrace LED lighting technology for office lighting. “We deliver dramatic results for our clients by generating fresh ideas that maximize return on investment,” said Jeff Graybill, a partner with the agency. “LED lighting demonstrates our innovative culture and commitment to the environment, while providing the practical benefits of energy savings and ultra-low maintenance.”

LEDs have a rated life of 40,000 to 50,000 hours, which corresponds to 20-25 years when operated during normal business hours. This is 20 to 25 times the life of standard incandescent bulbs, and 4 to 5 times the life of compact fluorescent lamps. “Our ten-year lease will end long before we would need to replace the LEDs,” added Jeff Graybill.

Karlen Williams Graybill chose LED fixtures manufactured by Gallium Lighting, a pioneer in specification-grade LED downlighting. “Many people are drawn to the obvious practical and aesthetic benefits LED lighting, but we have also been pleasantly surprised by the level of interest from people who specify LED lighting because it is the most environmentally-friendly lighting technology available,” said Dr. Keith Bahde, President of Gallium Lighting. “Unlike fluorescent lighting, LEDs contain no mercury, so there are no hazardous waste concerns. When people see the quality and quantity of light that the latest LEDs can produce, they realize that they don’t have to compromise performance to go green.”

LED lighting is expected to become commonplace in commercial buildings within the next few years. Strategies Unlimited, an independent market research firm, forecasts that the market for LEDs in lighting applications will grow 37% annually, reaching $1 billion in 2011.

Gallium Lighting Introduces High Output White LED Downlight

admin — Sat, 30 Dec 2006 10:00:12 +0000

YUCAIPA, CA - January 2, 2007 - Gallium Lighting announced its debut with an architectural downlight featuring white LEDs that deliver long life, excellent energy efficiency, and unprecedented lumen output comparable to 18-26 watt compact fluorescent luminaires.The LEDs in Gallium’s GS6 luminaire have a rated life of 40,000 to 50,000 hours, which corresponds to 20-25 years when operated 8 hours per day in a standard business environment operating 250 days per year. This is 20 to 25 times the life of standard incandescent bulbs, and 4 to 5 times the life of compact fluorescent lamps. In addition, the GS6 sets a new standard for light output, providing up to 40% more light than a standard 65W incandescent downlight, while consuming 60% less energy. Finally, it is the first white LED architectural downlight to provide the lumen output and efficacy levels of compact fluorescents.

“The white LED is the most exciting new lighting technology since the introduction of fluorescent lamps almost 60 years ago,” said Dr. Keith Bahde, President of Gallium Lighting. “In addition to the obvious benefit of ultra-low maintenance, LED lighting combines the aesthetic appeal of quartz-halogen lighting with the energy savings of fluorescent lighting. LED lighting is also good news for the environment. It has the potential to dramatically reduce fossil fuel depletion and carbon dioxide emissions, and there are no disposal concerns because our products contain no mercury or other hazardous substances.”

The GS6 is UL rated for damp locations and direct burial in insulation, and is ideal for executive offices, corridors, lobbies, conference rooms, retail spaces, medical facilities and media centers.
