Samsung Introduces Advanced LED Light Bulbs to Brighten U.S. Households with Energy Efficient, Natural-Looking Light
RIDGEFIELD PARK, N.J. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Samsung Electronics America, Inc., a market leader and award-winning
innovator in consumer electronics and home appliances, today announced
the availability of Samsung's first LED lighting solutions for the U.S.
consumer market. Available through Lowe's, Samsung's initial product
lineup for U.S. households includes A19, PAR20/30/38 and MR16 bulbs-all
designed to easily replace traditional incandescent, halogen and CFL
bulbs throughout the home.
Seven Samsung lighting products are available immediately on Lowes.com
and at select Lowe's home improvement retail stores nationwide. The
bulbs include:
-
A19 Bulbs: Samsung's A19 bulb is a directional bulb that is
sized to easily replace a conventional incandescent bulb in any
fixture where directional light is needed, from certain lamps to
vanity lights and wall sconces. Because it is fully dimmable,
consumers can recognize even more energy savings by selecting the most
appropriate brightness depending on the time of day or the task at
hand.
-
PAR Bulbs: Samsung's dimmable PAR replacement bulbs last 20
times longer* than their equivalent halogen bulbs and are well suited
for track and recessed lighting. With a variable beam angle of 25 to
40 degrees, Samsung's PAR bulbs allow consumers to choose a more
focused or diffused light depending on the mood they want to set in
the room.
-
MR16 Bulbs: Samsung's MR16 bulbs are ideal for track, recessed
and vanity lighting, and are offered in two different base types and
brightness levels to accommodate a wide range of applications.
Whether in a floor lamp or spotlighting a family portrait over the
mantel, Samsung's LED lighting products can bring warm, natural-looking
light to any room of the house. With Samsung's clean and ultra-efficient
LED chip technology, all of Samsung's LED lighting products offer
greater energy efficiency and longer lifespan than incandescent, halogen
and compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs). In fact, Samsung LED bulbs boast
an average lifespan of 30,000 to 40,000 hours, which means they can last
27 to 36 years before needing to be replaced**.
"A light bulb is no longer just a light bulb. It's a digital technology
made up of LED chips, drivers and electronics-familiar turf for
Samsung," said Kevin Dexter, Samsung's senior vice president of Home
Appliances. "Using the same digital expertise that brings true-to-life
depth and crispness to Samsung's latest LED TVs, we are now bringing
light with true-to-nature tones to any room in the home, any time of the
day."
Currently, Samsung is one of the world's largest manufacturers of LED
chips, and one of only a few companies worldwide that is vertically
integrated to provide high quality standards in every LED product.
