E-Commerce Company to Offer Energy Efficient LED Landscape Lighting

January 3, 2008

JACKSON, MI—The transition away from the 100 year-old incandescent light bulb continues to gain steam. LizardLighting.com, a new e-commerce company, will be launching its new website featuring a full line of energy-efficient LED landscape lights March 1, 2008. The new LED landscape lights consume about a 1/4 of the energy of a comparable halogen light and will last six times as long—up to 60,000 hours.

“We are very excited about the new Lizard Lighting line of LED landscape lights,” said Andy Nicholls, a Seattle landscaping professional and owner of Ecoyards. In response to customer demand, many landscaping companies, like Ecoyards, are focusing on environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional landscaping and yard care practices. “I had the opportunity to see the new LED lights by Lizard Lighting and they are impressive.” added Nicholls. “There are some LED products on the market now but this is the first product I’ve tested that has light output that meets that of a halogen lamp,” Nicholls concluded.

The Lizard Lighting LED landscape lights utilize state-of-the-art LED technology which can produce 100 lumens per watt or more. Unlike a traditional incandescent lamp or halogen lamp which produces a tremendous amount of heat, the LED lamp produces very little heat as all of its energy is directly transformed into light. Additionally, the solid state LED lamp contains no fragile filament and is therefore much more resistance to shock and other impact damage. “When you have a solid-state lamp with no fragile components that produces less heat you end up with a light source that will last a very long time,” said Michael J. O’Connor, co-owner of LizardLighting.com. Lizard Lighting’s LED landscape lights are rated to last for 60,000 hours or more.

Lizard Lighting’s ecommerce store will be open March 2008 and will offer a full line of LED low voltage landscape lighting and solar landscape lights.
