USHIO AMERICA Expands Its Series of Ultraline™ 10,000-Hour Light Bulbs to Include 20W Versions
USHIO AMERICA INC. recently announced the addition of new 20W versions to its popular 10,000-hour Ultraline™ series of long-life, low-voltage MR-16 light bulbs that are designed to last more than twice as long as standard bulbs on the market.
These new 20W, 12-volt, Ultraline™ MR-16 reflector light bulbs were designed to reduce bulb replacements, especially in difficult-to-change areas by lasting twice as long as standard MR-16 bulbs which normally last only 4,000-5,000 hours. Their low wattage and long life make them ideal for landscape, waterscape, and pool/spa applications.
When used approximately 5-6 hours per day, 7 days per week, the Ultraline™ 10,000-hour bulbs could last up to 5 years under normal operating conditions. The new 20W Ultraline™ reflector bulbs are available in narrow flood beam spreads with a more concentrated beam of light as well as flood beam spreads with a wider distribution of light.
