GeoBulb® LED Bulbs
The signature GeoBulb is one of the first 60-watt direct replacement LED (Light-emitting diode) light bulbs. The GeoBulb is the same size as a conventional incandescent (A19-type) bulb and can be used as a direct replacement in any indoor open fixture [1]. The GeoBulb has a standard, screw-in type Edison base, and is also mercury and lead free. The original GeoBulb [2]was never released to the public. Initial runs of the bulb were only used by industry professionals and a few members of the press.
In early 2009 [3], C. Crane Company introduced a new version of this LED light bulb called the GeoBulb II. The GeoBulb II uses High Power white LEDs and produces the approximate amount of light [4] as a 60-watt incandescent bulb. The GeoBulb II is the same size as a regular incandescent light bulb, has a long warranty, and uses only 7.5 Watts.
Like the GeoBulb II the new GeoBulb III is UL Listed [5] and FCC approved. The power factor of the GeoBulb III currently hovers around 83. This number expresses the efficiency of the circuit and has one of the highest efficiency ratings of any LED bulb.
