DEAK-LAM will introduce the GREEN Lite based on Quantum Dot technology during the end of the 1st quarter of 2008. The light will be a GREEN replacement for the inefficient incandescent light bulb and the hazardous and toxic CFL (compact fluorescent light) as well as the tube type fluorescent lights.

The DEAK-LAM GREEN Lite features are:

Competitive cost.

25,000 hours of continuous operation; as compared to the incandescent 800-2,000 hrs and the CFL 6,000-8,000 hrs (debatable). (Optional 50,000 hour models at a slightly higher cost)

The DEAK-LAM light can be dimmed.

4 Watts of actual power used from the line to give the brilliance of a 100 Watt incandescent light bulb.

Made of non-destructible polycarbonate plastic, which can be recycled.

DEAK-LAM has a logical and effective recycle programme in place with incentives.

It uses no mercury or phosphor like the CFL variety of lights do, and this obviously includes the tubular lighting systems as well.

Needs no vacuum like the incandescent lights have to have.

The light uses no glass like the other types of lights have.

The DEAK-LAM GREEN Lites will be formatted for either AC or DC operation. So the DC versions will find market placement for portable applications.

There will be a variety of DEAK-LAM GREEN Lites for many different lighting system needs, as well as special bespoke architectural lighting requirements.

The white colour range can vary over a wide range of warm to cool white.

Individual colours throughout the spectrum will be available.

They can be dropped from 20 feet and still function. Based on actual testing.

The DEAK-LAM, Ltd. GREEN Lite is the environmentally safe lighting system for the 21st Century.

I’m afraid that with our patents field and in placed GE is a tad late, as well as all the other slackers in the lighting business.

If you want something that you’ve never had before; then you must do something that you’ve never done before.

Compact Fluorescents are the stupidest energy saving device one can own, burning over 10 times the power of an equivalent LED and lasting only about twice as long as an incandescent.

LED’s should have been the standard replacement bulb 10 years ago, yet you STILL can’t find them on store shelves – you can only order them from exotic dealers or custom build them yourself.

What are you waiting for? Put the damn things on the market already!
