SOLON, Ohio, April 29, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Energy Focus, Inc. (OTCQB:EFOI), a leader in LED lighting technologies introduces its new LED Berth Light with USB outlets, allowing U.S. Navy sailors to safely charge their approved electronic devices right from their bunk.
"We constantly strive to develop and provide the Navy with the most efficient LED lighting systems that are also user friendly. In a connected world where smartphones serve as the alarm clock, music player and photo album, charging phones during rack time facilitates more effective use of bunk space," said Eric Hilliard, President and Chief Operating Officer of Energy Focus.
The Energy Focus LED Berth Light, often referred to as a rack lamp, is significantly more reliable than its fluorescent predecessor and consumes up to 45% less power. Additionally, the Energy Focus LED Berth Light is safer than older fluorescent lamps because LEDs contain no mercury, generate no buzzing or flickering and don't require special disposal. With 50,000 hours of life, the LED Berth Lights are expected to last the lifetime of the ship, eliminating the need for lamp changes.
The Energy Focus brand LED Berth Light offers a more rugged fixture ready for direct replacement of outdated fluorescent berth fixtures. As a form, fit and function replacement for SYM #'s 229.1, 231.1 and 232.1, the Energy Focus brand LED Berth Light comes in 3 configurations: No power receptacle (NSN #6210-01-617-1310), 3-prong outlet (NSN#6210-01-603-8568) and USB Outlet (NSN # forthcoming late-May 2014).
