Photometric testing conducted at leading lighting testing facility Intertek compared the performance of PureSpectrum’s patented 12-watt and 8-watt T4 lamps against comparable products available at Lowe’s. The PureSpectrum 12-watt lamp was 30 percent more energy efficient than the Lowe’s private label Portofolio product, and the PureSpectrum 8-watt bulb was 24 percent more efficient than the Portfolio brand and 114 percent more energy efficient than the Amertac brand also available at Lowe’s. 

PureSpectrum owns a family of patents and patent applications for improved electronic ballast technology and circuitry designs for ballast driven lighting applications. The company has begun initial discussions with contract manufacturers concerning the production and launch of the T4 product line.  

“These test results clearly and resoundingly confirm that we have an electronic ballast topology that significantly improves the performance of linear fluorescent lighting applications,” said PureSpectrum president and CEO Lee Vanatta. “This was the decisive step we needed to take in order to affirm proof of concept to potential licensing partners and manufacturers. As we go out into the industry with this product, we know that we have a unique, innovative technology not available anywhere else. If our technology was imbedded in the highest selling linear fluorescents, the energy and money saved over time could be staggering.” 

Linear fluorescent lamps are the thin, tubular lights which illuminate schools, office buildings, retail stores and most other commercial and industrial settings. Since 2003, sales of fluorescent lamps has consistently climbed, and according to data from the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), lighting accounts for nearly 30 percent of the energy usage in non-residential buildings and more than 60 percent of the energy usage in retail facilities. Much of that lighting is provided by linear fluorescent tubes, and manufacturers are constantly searching for more energy efficient products in order to provide an environmentally friendly product and gain a competitive advantage with commercial, industrial and retail consumers.
