OptiLED's Designer Dimmable LED Lamp Addresses Demand for Intensity and Distribution Control in a Standard Form Factor IRVINE, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Oct. 28, 2004 -- Breakthrough Product Suits Wide Variety of Lighting EnvironmentsOptiLED, an international leader in LED lighting, introduced its Designer Dimmable, a breakthrough LED lamp that, for the first time, features lighting intensity and distribution control in a familiar form factor, with outer dimensions identical to an ordinary halogen MR16. The Designer Dimmable was unveiled at the LDI 2004 show in Las Vegas last week. The Designer Dimmable offers full performance at 12 volts DC or AC and dimming capability from 10 volts down to three volts, where it operates at candle glow. At full power, the unit requires less than 2 watts. "OptiLED tailored the Designer Dimmable specifically to meet the needs and demands of our customers, offering a LED lamp that can adapt to suit any environment and create a wide range of effects, atmospheres, nuances, light levels and mood," said Bruce Pelton, OptiLED's vice president of sales. "As a result, the Designer Dimmable Series provides designers and architects with a variety of new options, delivered in a familiar style and shape, compatible with existing fixtures." The OptiLED Designer Dimmable offers the same optical and light control capabilities as OptiLED's traditional LED Designer Series, along with a snap-on ring mounting for the distribution control diffusers. With its MR16 form factor, the versatile Designer Dimmable can be used in most indoor and weather-protected outdoor fixtures and applications, including theatres and cinemas, amusement parks, architectural features, landscape accents, retail, museums and hospitality. The Designer Dimmable features a polycarbonate face and base, an anodized aluminum housing, and a standard four-degree diffuser. The Designer Dimmable can be used for lighting objects with variable light intensities and distribution or for longer-distance lighting applications. With nine diffuser options available, the lighting effects available to the user are increased dramatically, with choices of spherical, elliptical or line effect diffusers. The Designer Dimmable is available in five colors, including red, green, blue, amber and white. The Designer Dimmable incorporates advanced LED technology to create a lighting solution that is bright, energy efficient, versatile and simple to use and install.
