Troy's Viper Networks Part Of New LED Product To Replace Standard 100W Bulbs

TROY -- Viper Networks Inc. (Pink Sheets: VPER), in conjunction with Jupiter, Fla.-based LEDs America Inc., last week introduced their nine-watt LED, the companies' latest incandescent replacement lamp, which targets the replacement for 100-watt incandescent bulbs.

The nine-watt LED bulb from LEDs America will join the other two similar products, including the five-watt LED to replace 60-watt incandescent bulbs, and the four-watt LED to replace 40-watt incandescent bulbs.

The nine-watt LED lamp is just the newest product in a series of LED lights from LEDs America, to provide consumers a superior lighting option to any incandescent and fluorescent product available.

LEDs America's superior ratio of lumens per watt reduces total cost of energy by approximately 90 percent compared to a standard 40-watt, 60-watt or 100-watt bulb. With an average life use of 50,000 hours, the company's LED bulbs need far less replacing than traditional incandescents and compact fluorescent lamps.

As of January 2012, U.S. law requires that light bulbs must be at least 25 percent more energy efficient, which means that traditional incandescent bulbs will be phased out, starting with the 100-watt bulb. Although some of the replacements have been with compact fluorescent lamps, many consumers do not like these 'swirl' bulbs for giving off what many say is inferior light.

Additionally, LEDs America has developed a breakthrough in creating an LCC- LED Cluster Chip technology light source to replace incandescent bulbs with a much more naturally emitting light.

All LEDS America bulbs and lamps are sold under the brand name LED-O®, which with combined features will not only save 90 percent of the energy used in a standard bulb, but also save 50 percent compared to a CFL, while emitting no ultraviolet light and containing no mercury.

The LED-O fits all standard fixtures and lamps, is 100 percent recyclable and can be used with any voltage from 85 to 265 volts.

Viper Networks has its headquarters in Troy and has been involved in the Voice Over Internet Protocol business until entering the LED business since last year.
