MOONACHIE, NJ –Bulbrite Industries was honored with the 2015 Special Group Recognition Award for its LED Filament Series by Lighting for Tomorrow during the organization’s Awards Ceremony held on Saturday, October 3rd at the Annual American Lighting Association Conference in Huntington Beach, CA.

The annual Lighting for Tomorrow competition was created in 2002 to recognize the best decorative, energy efficient lighting fixtures in the residential market. Lighting for Tomorrow encourages manufacturers to develop well designed, energy efficient lighting products with a specific goal of increasing the market availability of ENERGY STAR® residential lighting fixtures.

In 2014, Bulbrite was honored by Lighting for Tomorrow for its LED Retrofit Kit, ELEVA. This year, the committee was looking for residential solid state lighting and lighting controls products that incorporated and enabled superior efficiency, light quality, and new levels of integrated design. As part of the competition, they targeted visible-filament decorative LED lamps to address a growing market segment and energy savings opportunity recognizing that a significant opportunity exists to improve the efficiency of such lamps with LED technology.

Bulbrite has been known within the industry as the “King of Nostalgics” and the LED Filament series is a natural extension of the company’s Nostalgic Collection. The Bulbrite LED Filament series utilizes linear LED strips that can be arranged to emulate the vintage filament styles. By combining the linear LED filaments with the similar tinted glass and the same shapes of its existing Nostalgic series, Bulbrite brings the benefits of LED to the growing popularity of vintage lighting. With 24 SKUs currently, the LED Filament series bulbs boast a long life of 15,000 hours and consumes 10 times less energy than their incandescent counterparts. The Bulbrite LED Filament Series offers the great look and feel of an incandescent while saving consumers money. The company plans to continue to expand this series so it is sure to bring the widest assortment of options to its customers.

The judges noted that Bulbrite deserved recognition for consistently contributing to the continued growth of the LED visible-filament lamp category and by continuing to highlight such efforts, they hope to see continued product improvements in the 2016 competition.

“We are thrilled to be recognized by Lighting for Tomorrow for our LED Filament Series,” said Cathy Choi, President of Bulbrite. ““We are committed to providing innovative products to our customers and this series exemplifies that beautiful light can be energy efficient too.”

MOONACHIE, NJ – Bulbrite was on hand to celebrate the One Millionth Hour Party on June 27th at Fire Station #6 in Livermore to commemorate the Centennial Light Bulb milestone. With over 500 local residents as well as local & state representatives in attendance, the city of Livermore celebrated the Centennial Bulb and the millionth hour it has been lit.

“The celebration, much like Bulbrite was all about family, friends and tradition,” said Eric Choi, Product Manager, Bulbrite Industries. “We’re family-owned since 1971 and have been innovating, illuminating and celebrating customer and consumer lives ever since and like the Centennial Light, we look forward to continuing to shine.”

The Centennial Light Bulb is a hand-blown carbon filament common light bulb that was manufactured in Shelby, Ohio in the late 1890s and donated to the Fire Department in 1901. It has been recognized by the Guinness World Records as the longest lit bulb in the world.

Bulbrite was inspired by the longevity of the Centennial Light Bulb that it developed a 40 watt replica that is meticulously crafted to preserve the look of the longest burning light bulb in history. It is a perfect accent for any antique décor. Its compact size makes it ideal for smaller lighting designs and bright filaments emanate a warm, amber glow.

Bulbrite has long been known for its line of specialty bulbs, particularly for the early introduction of their Edison-style Nostalgic replicas in the early 1980s, and is known within the industry as the “King of Nostalgics”.
