Distributes 25,000 Pharox LED Light Bulbs to Employees Around the
World SAN FRANCISCO and MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 22
/PRNewswire/ -- Lemnis Lighting, a leader in LED lighting, today
announced that Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) has selected the Pharox
LED light bulb as a gift for Google employees as part of its "Going
Green at Google" initiative. This green benefit will enable Google
employees around the world to create greater sustainability at home
as well as the office. "Google supports innovative and responsible
environmental practices across our company, including helping our
employees stay green," said Lacy Caruthers, a member of Google's
Green Business Operations team. "Lemnis Lighting's Pharox LED bulb
is modern and earth-friendly and we're excited for Google employees
to try it out." The Pharox looks like a stylish update to the
traditional incandescent bulb, yet uses 80% less energy. The bulb
produces a soft, warm light without getting hot, and works with any
standard lamp or lighting fixture. The Pharox uses only five watts
of energy and lasts up to 34 years - that's up to 34 times longer
than an incandescent bulb and up to eight times longer than a CFL
bulb. Unlike CFL bulbs, the Pharox LED bulb provides instant light,
contains no mercury and is entirely recyclable. "At Lemnis
Lighting, we are committed to devising solutions that enhance the
quality of life while reducing the carbon footprint of everyday
living," said Frans Otten, chairman of Lemnis Lighting. "To provide
a sense of the impact Pharox LED bulbs can have, consider this: if
every American household switched four 40W light bulbs to Pharox
LED bulbs, the United States would save $113 billion in energy
costs over the lifetime of the Pharox bulbs." About Google Google's
