Sharp Electronics Corporation, the U.S. subsidiary of Sharp Corporation, launched a new portfolio of high quality digital LED lighting products for commercial, industrial, retail and hospitality applications. Sharp's initial offering includes a robust line of recessed LED troffers, LED downlights, and LED lamps. The new line of products will be demonstrated at Sharp's booth at LIGHTFAIRInternational 2013.

Designed and manufactured in Sharp's Memphis, TN factory and available for shipment nationwide, Sharp LED lighting products feature energy-saving dimming options, multiple lumen packages, and numerous color and beam angle options. They are available in elegant designs with a variety of customizable finishes and colors.

"Drawing from deep expertise in electronics and a longtime focus on energy-efficient design and sustainability, Sharp is delivering better lighting solutions and better value," said Gary Feather, Vice President, LED Lighting at Sharp Electronics. "Sharp LED lighting products provide high quality light, superior color and are backed by the support you expect from a global electronics leader."

Sharp's new digital lighting products meet the most exacting standards and provide a high degree of customization. With a superior Color Rendering Index (CRI) and exceptional fixture to fixture consistency, Sharp LED lighting products produce rich, saturated colors across the spectrum to deliver the true "color of life."

Built with the industry's best LED and driver components, Sharp LED lighting products operate at high efficiency levels, combined with high levels of color saturation, yielding a CRI well above 95 for lamps and above 85 for the linear products. Sharp LED luminaires are superior to traditional source lighting products in that they consume less energy and produce less heat, resulting in additional energy savings. The products also deliver extremely long life, providing approximately 50,000 hours of operation, which dramatically reduces relamping costs.

Because Sharp LED lighting fixtures are designed, manufactured and tested in Memphis, they can be shipped quickly, reducing order fulfillment times. And Sharp's team of engineers and designers will work with customers to customize inspired solutions that best fit and highlight the space's architecture.
