 GCL LED Tubes, Inc., announces three new Energy Star-qualified, UL-listed dimmable LED replacements for A19- and A21-style incandescent light bulbs for home and commercial use. The 7-watt DEC-A19F-7W-XIW-120AWD-ES, the 9-watt DEC-A21F-9W-XIW-120AWD-ES and the 13-watt DEC-A19F-13W-XIW-120AWD provide easy drop-in installation in existing 26mm Edison screw-in base fixtures and offer long-term durability, low power consumption, environmental sustainability and money savings.

All three dimmable LED bulbs run on 120 VAC, requiring no special adapters, and replace incandescent bulbs from 60 up to 100 watts, with energy savings exceeding 80 percent. They come with softly diffused, precision domed, UV-protected polycarbonate lenses that emit warm white (3200K) light in a directional 180-degree illumination pattern in the 7-watt and 9-watt bulbs, and a 300-degree omnidirectional pattern in the 13-watt lamp.

In addition, the GCL LED Tubes LED bulbs boast an outstanding color quality greater than 80 CRI, with superior brightness of 956 lumens (DEC-A19 13W bulb), 750 lumens (DEC-A21 9W) and 593 lumens (DEC-A19 7W bulb). All bulbs feature a sturdy construction with a unique grill-style, heat-sinking, aluminum-alloy housing.

Dimmable with an external dimmer (some dimmers have better performance than others), these economical, elegant light bulbs offer directional 180-degree or omnidirectional 300-degree light that is perfect for use in architectural & decor lighting, task lights, store front displays & retail display cases, exhibit set-ups, accent lighting and ceiling down lights. As a matter of fact, they are ideal for use anywhere you are currently using an incandescent A19- or A21-style light bulb, including outdoor applications when contained in a sealed housing, as they are IP63 protection rated.

Because LEDs have no filament, their solid-state design renders them impervious to shock, vibration, frequent switching and environmental extremes. With an average lifespan of more than 50,000 hours, white LED bulbs operate more than 20 times longer than the equivalent incandescent bulb, eliminating repeated relamping! The fact that they run remarkably cool also means they greatly reduce the load on air-conditioning normally associated with the indoor use of incandescent lamps.

The GCL LED Tubes LED bulbs comply with RoHS — the lead-free and mercury-free European directive. Because they emit only negligible amounts of heat and no ultraviolet or infrared light, they protect what they are illuminating — perfect around artwork.

These maintenance-free bulbs come with a 3-year GCL LED Tubes warranty. They are Energy Star listed for rebate and tax incentive programs, and UL listed for safety assurance.

The GCL LED Tubes 7-watt DEC-A19F-7W-XIW-120AWD-ES retails for $21.95 each, the 9-watt DEC-A21F-9W-XIW-120AWD-ES is $25.50, while the 13-watt DEC-A19F-13W-XIW-120AWD is $26.50 (large-quantity discount pricing available to qualified distributors). Availability is stock to 4-6 weeks for special requirements.
