120VAC LAMP DESIGNED TO REPLACE 120MB INCANDESCENT BULB

Sept. 30, 2008
DDP, a leader in engineered LEDsolutions, has developed a 120VAC line voltage lamp that reduces power consumptionand maintenance costs. Designated the 120MBLS-X-CX, the wide-angle LED operatesto maximum of 130VAC, while drawing less than 8mA - 85% lower than the powerconsumption of a standard 120MB incandescent light bulb. Additionally, the lampfeatures a shunt resistor to eliminate transient current and prevent a false positiveindication by the LED.“Our energy-efficient 120VAC lamp consumes power at a low level and featuresan operating life of upwards of 100K hours, making it an ideal replacement of 120MBincandescent bulbs in most any industrial indicator lighting application,” said TonyToniolo, DDP President. “Unlike incandescent bulbs, LEDs are not subject tocatastrophic failure when operated within design parameters, making it a reliable devicewith a life of up to 100K hours. An incandescent bulb generates heat as well as light andas a result the standard incandescent bulb has an unpredictable lifetime due to risk offilament burn out.”The 120MBLS-X-CX is well suited for a variety of indicator applications and isavailable in a variety of color options including red, amber, blue, green and white.Typical light output is 15lm, comparable to the 120MB incandescent.
