GreenPoma.com Expands Lineup of Energy-Saving Light Bulbs for Homeowners and Retailers

Concord, NH (PRWEB) March 24, 2010 -- GreenPoma.com, an online retailer of premium, energy-saving light bulbs (http://www.greenpoma.com/educate-yourself/), is pleased to announce that it is expanding its lineup of green lighting solutions to include high-efficiency halogen lamps -- the addition of the PAR20 directional bulb (https://www.greenpoma.com/products/20W-Halogen-PAR20-Electronic-Narrow-Flood.html) from industry leader Philips Lighting reflects GreenPoma's continuous drive to offer best-in-breed, eco-friendly light bulbs that cast flattering light.

"After studying, testing and speaking with consumers about this product, we concluded that it fits a niche where sufficient demand exists," says Peter Ellinwood, Co-Owner of GreenPoma.com. "The 5,000-hour average rated life of the Halogená PAR20 Electronic 25 degree flood lamp is two-thirds longer than a traditional halogen PAR20. Also, while it uses 60% less electricity than a 50W version, it throws 25% more light into the beam center. We figure this makes it more than twice as efficient as an old-fashioned PAR20 and a supreme value among energy-saving light bulbs," adds Ellinwood.

The mercury-free Halogená PAR20 Electronic is available in 10 degree spot and 25 degree flood versions. It features crisp white light with a color temperature of 2900K. At GreenPoma.com, it retails for $25.99, with discounts available for purchase quantities of 6+.

PAR20 high-efficiency halogen lamps provide accent light when used in open track heads and can be dimmed using a low voltage electronic dimmer switch (https://www.greenpoma.com/products/Electronic-Low-Voltage-Dimmer-Skylark.html). Dimming high-efficiency halogen lamps increases their lifespan.

Says Ellinwood: "Since this lamp starts with 25% more maximum beam candlepower than a regular 50W PAR20, constantly dimming it by 25% would reduce load to just 16 watts and roughly quadruple expected lamp life to 20,000 hours while maintaining equivalent light output - a money-saving and pollution and waste reducing strategy without sacrifice."
