Request InfoCAO Group Inc.MR-16 high-intensity LED bulbs have been announced by CAO Group Inc. LuxemBulbs consume between 0.8 and 4 W, offer a 50,000-h operating life, come in 12 VDC/VAC and perform well in systems that experience voltage dips or surges. The bulbs, which produce 50 lumens, come in white, red, amber, green and blue, with 15° and 25° viewing angles. A number of base connector types are available, including ZE27-4, Gu10-B, G6.35, Edison, lock-in and bi-pin. They are suitable for retail store displays, as accent lights on buildings, and for stage and galley lighting.See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics.com 9/19/2022SpectrophotometerThe SD-10 spectrophotometer color-measuring device from Epson America Inc. is designed to give SureColor® wide-format printer users a tool to accurately measure color.
