Energy efficient lighting is the core of our business. Sun LED Lighting products are designed to last as long as 100,000 hours, which is 50 times the life of a typical incandescent bulb and 5 times the lifetime of an average CFL.
LAMPING | ENERGY Watts | OUTPUT lumens | EFFICIACY Efficiacy = lumens/watts. The higher the number, the more efficientlumens per watt | CO2 lbs Approximate CO2 emission per 1,000 hours of use | CO2 CO2 output per lumen is a finer gauge of sustainabilitylumen ratio | LIFE hoursIncludes electricity at national average of 12¢/kwh, and average lamp cost. | ENERGY COST per 1000 hrs Includes electricity at national average of 12¢/kwh, and average lamp cost. |
