Nexxus Lighting, Inc. (NASDAQ: NEXS) announced today it has begun production and shipment of its new Array™ Quantum LED R30 replacement light bulb. Developed in conjunction with QD Vision, this is the first commercially available LED lamp that utilizes quantum dots to deliver true 2700° Kelvin, high-color rendering (91 CRI) incandescent warm white light at an industry leading 60 lumens per watt.
“After announcing this project in 2009, it is very exciting to see our vision come to life with product finally flowing down the assembly line and into the marketplace,” said Mike Bauer, president and CEO of Nexxus Lighting, Inc. “In collaboration with QD Vision, we have developed a product that trumps competitors who are offering high CRI, but very low lumens per watt and set a new industry standard."
The new Array™ Quantum LED R30 features the new co-developed Quantum Light™ Optic from QD Vision and unique LED package from Citizen Electronics combined with Nexxus’ patented and patent pending design and Selective Heat Sink™ thermal management system. Array™ Quantum LED R30 will deliver the highest efficiency 90+ CRI system currently available on the market.
“Our Quantum Light™ Optic is the first product that allows manufacturers to make warmer-colored, high-efficiency LED lamps, which is seen as essential to their widespread adoption,” said Dr. Dan Button, QD Vision President and CEO. “This new lamp from Nexxus Lighting demonstrates the value of Quantum Dots for solid state lighting applications.”
The new Array Quantum LED R30 lamps will be featured at the upcoming Global Shop trade show at the Sands Expo and Convention Center, March 10-12th in Las Vegas, Nevada. Nexxus Lighting’s booth number is 1628. Representatives from both Nexxus and QD Vision will be on hand to demonstrate the product.
