New Dimming LED Tube Lights at Taiwan International Lighting Show

Clean Light Green Light, a Michigan-based manufacturer of light-emitting diode-type lighting, has developed a new product that can be used to provide emergency illumination for critical buildings such as hospital and schools, with significant savings in energy and financial resources.

“We identified the need for this product while installing a pilot for a public school system and recognized that we could not execute a complete retrofit without this technology,” said David McKinney, chief executive officer of Mount Clemens-based CLGL.

“After researching and confirming that there was nothing available that could satisfy this important industry criterion, we moved quickly to address it,” McKinney said.

The new emergency backup system not only addresses previous challenges to retrofitting sensitive applications, but also creates a new revenue stream for CLGL as it represents a valuable option to all LED tube manufacturers.

LED lights are more expensive than conventional lighting, but it last longer and requires significantly energy for illumination.

The CLGL emergency backup system uses nickel-metal hydride batteries similar to batteries used in hybrid vehicle battery production, which can provide backup power use to be specified at 30, 60 or 90 minute intervals the CLGL EBS comes equipped with an LED test light and testing button for maintenance inspection and testing as well as a flame retardant case housing the system circuitry and battery.

The EBS is a significant breakthrough in increasing the viability of LED retrofits in the commercial, industrial, municipal lighting sectors and confirms CLGL as one of the manufacturers that sets industry performance standards.

 The new product was nominated for the Engineering Society of Detroit Michigan’s Alpha Award for Innovation in Engineering and Technology.

“As an LED lighting pioneer, CLGL has developed the expertise to leverage cutting edge technologies and develop timely, industry leading solutions which propel the evolution and adoption of LEDs,” said CEO McKinney.

A wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of Global Dynamix Solutions GB PLC of London, England, CLGL develops, manufactures, and sells commercially viable LED lighting designed to retrofit into existing infrastructure as well as new construction.
