John did a post on these energy-efficient LED recessed lights on February 27th. In the meantime, our the team from the LAMPS PLUS professionals side attended a trade show. They had a booth next door to the display pictured above with the recessed lights actually installed. They were really enthusiastic about how well these recessed light modules work and came back with some pretty exciting additional information:
- They are
dimmable.
- They consume only 12 watts
of power but produce the equivalent wattage of a 65 watt reflector or an 18 watt compact
fluorescent.
- Their bulb life is 50,000 hours, 5 times that of most compact fluorescents.
That means that if you use these lights an average of 5 hours a day, the bulbs could last over
25 years!
