SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Rambus
Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS), the innovative technology solutions company that
brings invention to market, today announced that the company's
revolutionary 60 watt equivalent A19 LED bulb has gained provisional
ENERGY STAR™ certification, validating the efficiency, lumen output,
color temperature and light output distribution capabilities of the
bulb. In order to meet the provisional ENERGY STAR certification, the
bulb exceeded the 800 lumens requirement by delivering 850 lumens,
maintained appropriate lumen output and color temperature, and provided
an incandescent-like luminous intensity distribution during testing.
"Our bulb delivers efficiency and performance through an innovative
design using thermals and our MicroLens® optics to create the
most efficient Energy Star compliant light distribution on the market
today," said Jeffery Parker, president of the Rambus Lighting and
Display Technology division. "Achieving this provisional rating is a key
step towards our larger effort of providing effective and affordable LED
lighting solutions to consumers and businesses alike."
The Rambus A19 bulb uses MicroLens optical technology, which enables the
use of a efficient waveguide technology that produces a
omni-directional, consistent distribution of light required by ENERGY
STAR. This open structure allows for the innovative use of convection to
keep the bulb cool, increasing energy efficiency and significantly
improving the lifetime of the bulb, lasting up to 25 times longer than a
traditional incandescent bulb. The cost-effective Rambus solution
requires fewer LEDs to deliver light output and offers broad
compatibility with dimmers, resulting in no humming or buzzing, unlike
alternative offerings in the marketplace.
Rambus recently added to its comprehensive LED lighting portfolio with
the recent announcement of the new PAR30 and BR30 LED bulbs, both of
which exceed the lumen output specified by ENERGY STAR. Additionally,
the two newest products join the A19 bulb in being compliant with
Underwriter's Laboratories' safety standards requirements.
The full portfolio of Rambus LED bulbs are currently available for
orders with shipments expected to begin in the third quarter of this
year.
