Fullerton, Calif. — July 15, 2015 — Espen Technology, a leading manufacturer of LED products for the commercial markets, provided 12,000 units of its most popular LED tubes to convert academic buildings from fluorescent lamps to LED tubes.
The product selected for the Phase 1 retrofit was the company's 4-foot, 12W Retroflex HE, with 1,800 lumens, 80+CRI, 4000K CCT, and 325-degree beam angle.
These ultra high-efficiency LED tubes were installed from late May to early June. The Retroflex HE lamps made the project installation easier because these premium LED tubes now operate on the existing instant-start fluorescent ballasts. The fact that no rewiring or replacement of existing fixtures was needed saved the university time and money on installation.
“We are proud to provide our highest-efficiency LED tubes to the Phase 1 project at Cal State Fullerton,” said John Clancy, VP of sales at Espen Technology. “This is the second-largest university in the state of California, and the largest in the CSU system. This Phase 1 project proves just how much energy, installation time, maintenance, and money can be saved at major universities by switching from fluorescent lamps to Espen Technology’s ballast-compatible LED tubes.”
Cal State Fullerton selected the 12W Retroflex HE for the Phase 1 retrofit over the competition because Espen Technology had the winning combination of ultra high performance, quality, and available stock in the U.S.
