LEDdynamics announced that it is the recipient of the Popular Science “Best of 2007 Innovation Award” in the Green tech category. The award was for LEDdynamics’ EverLED-TR product line said the company in a press release.
The EverLED-TR is actually a fluorescent tube replacement which by using existing fluorescent ballasts can achieve equivalent light output of the tube it replaces. The EverLED-TR is the world’s first true LED replacement for linear fluorescent lighting said the company.
William McGrath, president and CTO of LEDdynamics, said enthusiastically: “The LEDdynamics team is honored to win this award. It’s a victory for the entire LED industry. Popular Science has recognized the environmental cost to dispose of 680 million mercury filled fluorescent tubes yearly, and found a cleaner, greener light source with LEDs by using the EverLED-TR.”
The EverLED-TR which was introduced in May last year leads the lighting market with its innovative product. LEDdynamics EverLED-TR happens to be the only lighting solution, whether LED or not to win the Green Tech award according to Popular Science Magazine.
Commenting on the methodology followed in selecting awardees, Mark Jannot, Editor-in-Chief of Popular Science Magazine said: “For 20 years, Popular Science’s Best of What’s new awards honor the innovations that make a positive impact on life today and change our views of the future. PopSci’s editors evaluate thousands of products each year to develop this thoughtful list, there’s no higher accolade Popular Science can give.
Jonathan Wish, Chief Strategic Officer remarked, “It’s the EverLED-TR’s ability to work with existing fluorescent ballasts and quality of the light produced, which were deciding factors for PopSci’s evaluation team.”
“They recognized the need for LED solutions which do not require costly removal or modification of existing systems. Because the end-user can simply ‘drop-in’ the EverLED-TR. Switching to LED technology has never been easier,” he said.
The patent pending EverLED-TR made of recyclable material has a service life of 10 years and is already popular leading the LED revolution said the company.
LEDdynamics, Inc. manufactures LuxDrive and EverLED line of products which includes drivers and light modules which use LED technology. The company strives to increase the use of LEDs as a medium of illumination.
