Selected products must endure a rigorous judging process which evaluates products for uniqueness, level of innovation, significance to the lighting industry, and overall benefits to end users.
RedBird LED Tube Lights designed for Parking Garage LED lighting retrofits
RedBird LED, a leading manufacturer of LED Linear Replacement Lamps, or LED Tube Lights as they are commonly called was recognized by the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) Progress Committee as providing "a unique and significant advancement in the art and science of lighting" for their Cardinal LED Tube Light. Announced at the 2012 IES Annual Conference held in November, the product is featured in the 2012 IES Progress Report, which presents significant developments and improvements in the lighting industry over the past year.
Cardinal Linear LED Lights are also recognized by the DesignLights Consortium (DLC) as a product for retrofitting old lighting systems and are included in the DLC's Qualified Product List. For the end user this means that an 18 watt RedBird LED tube can replace a standard 32 watt fluorescent lamp. By comparison, most other LED tube lights would require 22 watts to achieve an equivalent replacement.
The Cardinal Linear Lights have a 50,000 hour rated lifetime, a five year warranty and are available in dimmable versions which are compatible with the standard 0-10 volt industrial dimming control signal.
