BPA Rebate Available for Clearlight 40W LED NEMA Type 5 Lamp

Nov 20, 2009 Evluma Clearlight 40W LED replacement lamp for NEMA Type 5 lighting applications has been approved for a Custom Project Proposal Incentive from Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). Incentives will be based on energy saved by installation of the Clearlight in lighting applications currently served by 70-150W High Pressure Sodium (HPS) and 50-175W Mercury Vapor (MV) lamps.

BPA customers may submit a Custom Project Proposal through the PTR system. General Pacific, Inc. (GenPac), Evluma's exclusive distributor throughout most of the BPA coverage area, is ready to assist utilities and municipalities in completing their rebate proposals.

With a power factor of ≥ 0.9 and a custom designed internal LED driver taking the place of the fixture’s legacy ballast, the Clearlight uses 75% less electricity than a 175W MV lamp, says Evluma. An active cooling system keeps the thermal junction temperature low, resulting in long life and delivering an estimated L70 at 70,000 hours or longer. Its long lifetime, 3-4x longer than the MV and HPS technology it replaces, means fewer maintenance visits. The Clearlight is Mercury-free. Dark sky friendly, the lamp’s designed light cut-off reduces light pollution.
