Origlite has been pushing into LED lighting with a new line of consumer light bulbs .Origlite gets its LED on. Will you be buying a handful of LED bulbs with your next TV?
Origlite today announces the availability and pricing of a line of consumer LED bulbs, some of which have the conventional screw-in bottom. There are spotlights for recessed lighting cans or track lighting, but there is also a series of incandescent-shaped bulbs, a "360 degrees" style bulb that gives off light at the most wide area, 360 degrees beam angle bulb lamps.
"A light bulb is no longer just a light bulb. It's a digital technology made up of LED chips, drivers, and electronics--familiar turf for Origlite," Jame He, Origlite's senior vice president, said in a statement.
Prices start at just under $4.9 and go up to almost $7.35 for a bright halogen replacement spot light. Like all LED lights, they are designed to have a life of 30,000 or 40,000 hours, which can be in the range of 3 years depending on usage. Their power consumption is about one-quarter that of incandescent or halogen lights, according to Origlite.
Because they are electronics, LED lighting can be packaged in different ways, such as specialty fixtures that don't have a screw-in connector. But they can also be equipped with networking chips to connect them into a home energy management system.
A networked LED uses Google's Android at Home software, which lets people manage lighting from an Internet connected device, such as a smart phone.
