PinExt Labor Day 2009 Sale on Popular Wireless LED Battery Operated Lights

diy project kitchen backsplash Labor Day 2009 Sale on Popular Wireless LED Battery Operated Lights This post is for all of you “weekend warriors” out there that are working hard to finish up those summer projects. Yesterday I received a phone call from one of our manufacturers with a request. They wanted to offer a special Labor Day promotion on their wireless LED battery-operated lights; a $3 instant manufacturer rebate. Nothing wrong with that; so I said, “Absolutely!”

Starting today, and continuing through this coming Labor Day, Monday, September 7, six of some of our most popular LED battery-operated light fixtures have been reduced in price by $3. Since this is an instant manufacturer rebate, there is nothing that you, the customer, have to do to receive this rebate. The special Labor Day price, including your instant rebate, will automatically be applied when the product is placed in our online shopping cart.

So, go ahead, and take some of the “labor” out of your summer projects with LED lighting that:

Includes a bright white LED
Mounts anywhere
Lights up automatically when motion is detected
Turns on only in darkness
Automatically shuts off after 30 seconds
Can be used indoors or outdoors

The Labor Day instant manufacturer rebate applies to the following products:

All of us at Pegasus Associates Lighting hope you had a great summer and that you have a wonderful Labor Day weekend.

Energy Efficient Lighting Section Added to our Website

PinExt Energy Efficient Lighting Section Added to our Website

Within the past month we expanded our website by adding a new energy-efficient lighting section. This new section of our website makes it easier for our website visitors to find the energy-efficient LED light fixtures, fluorescent fixtures, metal halide light bulbs, air tight recessed housings, California Title 24 compliant lighting products, and ENERGY STAR® light fixtures that we offer.

LED lighting is really exciting. For example, the 6-inch LED downlight module uses 85% less energy than a conventional incandescent downlight, and 50% less energy than comparable fluorescent downlights. This, obviously, amounts to considerable savings on an electric bill. We look forward to offering our residential and business customers an ever growing line of energy-efficient lighting in the near future.

Dr. Thomas E. Farin, President and founder of Pegasus Associates Lighting.

We formally announced this new website section on August 27. You may read our press release “Energy Efficient Lighting Makes an Impact on Pegasus Associates Lighting Website” for further information.

PinExt Dorm Room Lighting Essentials: Back to School

iStock 000007875871XSmall Dorm Room Lighting Essentials: Back to School It is that time of year again; back-to-school time. From now until mid-September, students are heading to college dorm rooms all across the country. In addition to dorm room rugs, televisions, video games, and computers, lighting is an essential addition to any dorm room’s décor. “Institutional dorm lighting is not exactly the most cheerful. Putting a few better light sources in your room can make the space much more pleasant,” says Naomi Rockler-Gladen of Suite101.com.

As we all know, school, work, social, and study schedules rarely match up between roommates. One potential area for disagreement is over the room’s lights. Either they are kept on most of the night or are turned on suddenly while one roommate is sleeping. However, wireless, energy-efficient LED lighting is a quick and inexpensive solution to help avoid these potential dorm room disasters.

PinExt Cavity Design Increases OLED Light Output

A couple of months ago we posted an article to the Pegasus Associates Lighting website that listed the 10 things to know about LED lighting. Number nine on our list of 10 things to know was OLED.

9. OLED An OLED is an organic light emitting diode. It is an LED that also contains carbon. OLEDs are generally manufactured as flexible lightweight sheets. Today, OLEDs operate at significantly lower efficiency than inorganic (crystalline) LEDs. OLEDs typically generate less light per area than inorganic, solid state LEDs, which are usually designed for use as point-light sources.

www.PegasusAssociates.com, LED Lighting: 10 Things to Know

Today I learned that scientists from the independent Stanford Research Institute (SRI) found an innovative design to increase light output and energy efficiency of OLEDs. The answer is cavities. The device that they produced is called, watch out for another acronym, COLED. Yes, the C stands for cavity.
