TWINSBURG, Ohio, Dec. 15, 2010 – L.J. Star has slashed the cost for company green initiatives by introducing two LED-based sight-glass luminaires (lights) at less than half the price of its previous LED models. The new luminaires use a newer LED technology that can be changed out like a halogen bulb, unlike LED luminaires that must be discarded or rebuilt after the LED component reaches the end of its useful life. L.J. Star's Lumiglas® USL 16-LED and USL 36-LED sight-glass luminaires outshine conventional lights by providing low energy consumption, outstanding reliability and low maintenance. They incorporate an LED light source that consumes only 7 Watts of electricity, emits an equivalent of a 45 Watt halogen, and lasts up to 50,000 hours (five and a half years of service in typical operation). The affordable LED component fits a standard E27 or GU10 socket and is easily replaced. In addition, the luminaires produce light without heat and are not susceptible to shock and vibration, making the new luminaires ideal for heat-sensitive and vibration-prone processes. Both models have a crevice-free, stainless-steel design and may be used in sanitary and washdown applications in pharmaceutical, food processing, biotech and industrial facilities in non-hazardous areas.
