Next Generation: GE Aluminum PAR38 Comapct Fluorescent arrived to my desk today!
GE – brining halogen features to compact fluorescent lamps!
Funny how timing works. I was just commenting the other day how it seemed that the majority of CFL manufacturers “missed the boat” when it came to producing a PAR38 CFL (excluding Sylvania, who did actually come to marker, although they were kind of secretive about it). Now GE has arrived with something we can all use!
Environmentally Conscious – Energy efficient, lead free glass, and long life means fewer lamp replacements vs. standard halogen light sources.
Outstanding Energy Efficiency – Reduce energy costs by up to $52 over the life fo the lamp vs. a standard 75 watt halogen PAR38 while maintaining nearly the same light output (1185 lumens vs 1050)

Neptun Light produces one of the best dimmable Par38 CFLs available on the market
For some unknown reason, lighting manufacturers have steered away from making dimmable PAR38 compact fluorescent lamps. You’ll easily find cfls in the R30 and R40 style lamps that are dimmable, yet the PAR38 was left behind. This is odd since the PAR38 is your prototypical flood lamp and one of the most common lamps in existance.
Neptun Light is taking full advantage of this sweet spot in the market place by producing the 938-ADIM Series. Neptun Light produces the PAR38 CFL in 14,18,20, and 23 Watts for Analog Dimming Controls.
The lamps feature:
•DIMMABLE in range of 100% – 10% using ordinary dimmers
•New! Patented flicker-free ANALOG DIMMING™ system
•Reliable start at the lowest setting
•Color Temperature of 2700°K – Matching incandescent BPAR bulbs
•High Luminous Efficacy: Up to 45 Lm/W
•Wide range of operation ambient temperatures: -20°C – +60°C
•New! Patented Amalgam Technology: Any working position with stable light output
•Superior Lumen Maintenance of 85% after 3200 hours of use
•Indoor or Outdoor

LED Candle lamps
Trying to find a really good LED Candelabra base lamp has been a difficult challenge. Candelabra based lamps are generally found in chandeliers, candles stands, and decorative wall fixtures. Like most LED products, there are several companies that put products on the market, but the vast majority simply disappoint when it comes to the quality and quantity of light that is being generated. The biggest problem with the current CACs (candle with candelabra base) is that most can barely replace a 15w incandescent, while most people need something to replace 25-40w incandescent lamp. As of December 2010, the best products on the market to replace an incandescent candelabra based lamps are:
Models:
LC0105CS – LED Candle
LC0105CT – LED Candle
LC0105CS/SE – LED Candle
