TCP Introduces New Consumer CFL Products at Hardware Show
TCP, the leader in compact fluorescent lighting products, is introducing an extensive array of new CFL products and product enhancements at this week’s Hardware Show in Las Vegas, NV. These exciting new products further enhance TCP’s already comprehensive line-up of energy efficient compact fluorescent lamps.
Leading the product line-up are the new InstaBright™ covered CFLs. “Consumers have identified run up time as a concern when purchasing CFLs. These InstaBright™ products utilize exclusive lamp starting technology that improves initial lamp lumens by more than 50%, resulting in faster lamp run-up time and outstanding initial lumen performance.” said Ellis Yan, CEO of TCP. “TCP’s InstaBright™ products are clearly the best performing lamps of their kind in the industry.” The new InstaBright™ products are offered in 14 watt R20 and R30 reflectors, 14 watt G25 globes and 14 watt A 19 A-lamps.
Also new from TCP is a family of ultra-compact T2 and T3 CFL lamps, featuring TCP’s new full-spiral “Radial/Symmetry” lamp design, which reduces the lamps measured overall length (MOL), and increases lumen output and efficacy. These lamps also feature proven TCP technologies such as lead-free glass and Nano-Ti lamp pre-coating. for improved lumen maintenance. TCP lamps also use environmentally-friendly amalgam which reduces mercury content to well below the US EPA “Energy Star” standards.
These new T2 and T3 CFL lamps will be offered in a wide array of wattages and color temperatures, plus specialty applications such as colored bulbs, bug lights and dimmable versions. These new CFLs have a long rated life, and provide the best lumens-per-watt (LPW) performance in the industry.
All of the new TCP CFL products are tested and certified to meet/exceed FCC and UL compliance, and they also meet the new RoHS requirements which come in to effect in some parts of the US early in 2010. TCP currently has over 300 products which have earned the US Department of Energy’s “Energy Star” designation. TCP is also proud to have received the “Energy Star Partner of the Year” award for the second year in a row.
