CGT launches 8W, 450-lumen LED bulb

CGT (Comintel Green Technologies Sdn Bhd), a company that provides green technologies solution with its R&D and manufacturing facilities in Malaysia, recently announced their launch of an 8-Watt 450 lumen LED bulb. The LED bulb is designed to replace the existing incandescent bulb and at 8-Watt, it delivers the light output equivalent to 40-Watt incandescent bulb. Unlike others LED bulb in the market which is using a bulky and heavy die-cast aluminum heat sink, CGT’s 8-Watt LED bulb heat sink is made of aluminum sheet with nano ceramic coating and yet has the same thermal performance as the die-cast aluminum heat sink. 

CGT 8-Watt LED bulb is powered with Cree LED that delivers superb and high efficiency light output. The CGT 8-Watt LED bulb is designed to last 35,000 hours meaning that it will last more than 20 years with four hours of daily use. Replacing the 40-Watt incandescent bulb with the CGT 8-Watt LED bulb, while still having beautiful light quality, the consumer can enjoy the energy savings benefit and LED doesn’t waste energy through heat like incandescent bulbs do. Furthermore, comparing LED light to fluorescent light and CFL, LED lights do not contain toxic mercury. LED lights are instant-on that means we don’t have to wait for the lights to achieve its full brightness, like most fluorescents do. 


LED bulb is one of the best solutions for energy saving and comparing with the 40-Watt incandescent bulb, our 8-Watt/450-lumen LED bulb will reduce the energy consumption by about 80%. CGT energy saving LED bulbs provide 8W and 13W with 450 lumen and 800 lumen respectively for both cool white and warm white.
