Superior Lamp Inc Sales Increase in First Quarter

Superior Lamp Inc Sales Increase in First Quarter
In times of economic uncertainty, Superior Lamp Inc., has been able to report an increase in sales, thanks to the "Green" movement.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PR Log (Press Release) – May 13, 2010 – In a time of uncertainty and instability, Superior Lamp announces its first quarter profits are up by 18%. Along with the major auto manufactures, Superior Lamp sees the economy starting to pick up momentum. As each sector of the economy emerges from the last recession there are positive signs starting to surface.

While there still are sectors lagging behind, many critical industry indicators show there is a pent-up demand for products that are required to get America moving again. Lighting has always been a staple when the doors of a company are open and Superior tells us their current up swing has come from all areas of the country. They state that while investment in some products have not picked up yet they see companies searching for quality products that not only meet a need but help them to “Go Green”.

Going Green is an increasing trend that is starting to phase into something more of the norm in everyday life. Recycling has even become a mandate in many states and towns. Superior Lamp has always been on the forefront of the Green movement with many of its products, and has even created a blog to engage those interested in improving our planet as well as those who are willing to learn more. It is a companywide belief that reaching out to the entire population and explaining the benefits of going Green is of great importance. Visit the blog at http://superiorlamp.blogspot.com

Superior Lamp states an increase in its eco-friendly, industrial grade Freshwite Fluorescents sales and its new hi-tech LED’s are leading the way forward. Tom Mosher, a member of the executive staff of Superior Lamp states, “The future for America is looking stronger everyday and now that companies are intent on “Going Green” Superior is positioned to be a leader in the industrial lighting field for many more years to come. Everyone at Superior now believes the light at the end of the tunnel is the sun, not a train heading our way.” Times are changing for the better and Superior Lamp, Inc as well as other companies has started to feel the benefits.

Superior Lamp Product Tip

Energy-Saving HEAVY-DUTY™

Increasing nationwide electrical infrastructure costs. Increasing electrical demand. Carbon taxes on coal power. These are all topics that are or will be raising your customer’s energy costs. With the current focus on energy prices making national headlines, many people are thinking about items to cut back on energy usage. Most of Superior Lamp’s products can save electricity. This week we will focus on one of the lamps that S.L. has sold for many years…the HEAVY DUTY™ incandescent.

Some may ask “Why use HEAVY-DUTY™ instead of our energy-efficient Enviro-Twist™ spiral lamps?”…The answer: Because it’s fool-proof and it saves 12% in energy costs! It’s like getting a 12% drop in your electric rate for those sockets! And it carries a great 24 month warranty.

Unlike Enviro-Twist™ spirals, HEAVY-DUTY™ incandescent lamps can be used on dimmers, can be changed with pole-changers. They can also be used in extreme cold without any problems, they come on to full brightness instantly (no warm-up time), and are a rugged, rough service design. Yes, the Enviro-Twist™ saves the most energy, but they can’t be used in as many locations. The HEAVY-DUTY™ is fool-proof.

HEAVY-DUTY™ have been an anchor of the S.L. product line for over 20 years. Developed during the energy crisis of the 1970’s, the HEAVY-DUTY™ was designed as an energy-saving replacement of standard incandescents. It had another great feature; with its rough-service long-life design, it could carry a terrific warranty.

Re-lamping just 30 standard 100-watt lamps with
HEAVY-DUTY™ lamps could provide $315.30 annual savings! That means these lamps would pay for themselves in as quickly as 5 months! Plus, there would be additional savings from lowered air conditioning usage, and from the labor and lamp costs saved by lasting up to 24 times the life of a shortlife lamp.

Remember that your HEAVY-DUTY™ lamps are both great energy-saving lamps, and great extra-long life lamps.
Good Selling!

*Annual savings calculated using lamps operating 24Hr/day for 365 days/year at $.10 per Kwh.

Superior Lamp’s Environmentally Friendly Fluorescents

Superior Lamp’s Environmentally Friendly Fluorescents

Increased awareness of recycling and the hazards of mercury have made environmentally friendly lamps an important part of Superior Lamp’s product line. We are a leader in the lighting industry for environmentally friendly products. Superior Lamp’s lamps are built with cutting edge technologies that make them friendly to the environment due to low mercury content and long life design.

Our lamps contain the lowest average levels of mercury in the industry, mainly due to our mercury release capsule. The industry range of mercury content per tube is 15-48mg for a 4’ bi-pin fluorescent. S.L.’s 4’ TCLP-compliant lamps containing less than 4.4mg, and we are working to lower our mercury levels even more. Our lamps are TCLP-compliant, meaning they pass the federal government’s test for toxic chemical leaching in landfills. In some states, that means they aren’t required to be recycled (check your local regulations).

S.L.’s longer-life designs result in fewer lamps manufactured, fewer lamps thrown away, and fewer lamps recycled. Since manufacturing, disposal, and recycling all use energy and/or pollute the environment, Superior Lamp’s long life lamps by themselves are environmentally friendly. Our HEAVY DUTY™ line contains features that increase lamp life including:

● Triple Wound Double Tungsten Cathode – gives more surface area to the cathode which allows more emissive material, increasing the number of lamp starts possible, and thus bulb life.

● Cathode Guard – reduces tube end blackening, improving lumen maintenance and thus usable life.

● Silicone Coating - external lamp coating eases starting, especially in humid conditions. Easier starting results in longer lamp life.

● Color Stable Phosphors – precise mixes of Color Stable Phosphors resist breaking down over time, reducing color shift and maintaining brightness, which increases usable life.

● Precise Fill Gas – makes starting the lamp easier, thus increasing the life.

● Brass End Pins – better conductivity for easier starting, increases lamp life.

● Alumina Internal Coating – in conjunction with the mercury release capsule, this coating is used in our TCLP compliant low mercury lamps, makes the starting process gentler and blocks mercury absorption into the phosphors over time, increasing the life of the lamp. In addition to this benefit, the less mercury that is present in a lamp, the more environmentally friendly it is.

Superior Lamp leads the industry with environmentally friendly lamps.
