The South Africa branch of Samsung Electronics has launched a series of new LED retrofit lamps, a total of 7 products covering various LED light bulbs including L-Tubes GU10, MR16, E27, candle and golf ball types.
 
“It is based on this strategic research that Samsung has launched our own new range of LED retrofit lamps which reduces energy consumption by approximately 80%  compared to incandescent and halogen lamps – saving consumers on their electricity bills. What’s more, these lamps boast extremely long lifetimes of up to 15 years, which means that light bulb purchases are very few and far between. And if that wasn’t enough, these bulbs reduce CO2 emissions by 90%, contributing to the greener, eco friendly home environment,” says Michael McKechnie Divisional Head Digital Air Solutions at Samsung South Africa.
 
In April of this year, Samsung participated in Light+ Building in Germany, the world’s leading lighting trade fair for architecture and technology, to present its featured selection of LED products and technologies. This included LED packages, LED engines, and a broad range of LED lamps, which further accentuated the organisation’s strong commitment to the global LED lighting market. “This is certainly significant of Samsung’s commitment to this market and with the global proliferation of eco-friendly policies and growing consumer awareness in energy savings and conservation, Samsung expects that the LED lighting market will rapidly expand,” McKechnie continued.
