PowerSecure intros energy efficient SuperTube LED light replacement

WAKE FOREST, USA: PowerSecure International Inc. has introduced its new SuperTube, an energy efficient LED-based light, designed to replace and upgrade commercial overhead T8 and T12 fluorescent lighting.

The new technology is market ready, and the first installation of SuperTubes and power drivers was completed at a customer facility right after receiving UL certification. This first SuperTube installation instantly and significantly improved the energy efficiency and quality of light in the facility.

Sidney Hinton, CEO of PowerSecure, said: "We are very excited to introduce our new SuperTube light to the marketplace. We invested the last twelve months developing this technology to deliver a product that maximizes lighting quality at the lowest possible cost. The market for energy efficient overhead LED lights to replace fluorescent T8 and T12’s is simply enormous, and we believe we have a great product designed to address key needs in the marketplace.

"The most important of these attributes is that the SuperTube improves the quality of light in the workplace significantly, and delivers a strong energy efficient return on investment for our customers. I am pleased to report that our first installation was a terrific success, as I was blessed to witness the installation and hear our customer’s praise for the SuperTube first hand – which was reinforced by the fact that they have already ordered a second shipment."

The SuperTube is specifically designed for indoor T8 and T12 retrofit applications, and to deliver strong returns on investment for customers installing the lights. They are engineered to deliver up to 75 percent energy savings compared to traditional fluorescent lighting, and improve the quality of light in the workplace.

They are also designed to significantly reduce maintenance cost, due to their long light life of approximately 10 years, which would require the utilization of four fluorescents over the same period. Importantly, the lights are easy to retrofit, which keeps the cost of installation low, and enables customers to complete energy efficiency projects expeditiously.
