HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., Dec. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The invention of the incandescent light bulb more than 150 years ago has shaped how we live today, but with very little in the way of technological advancements, until now. One company hoping to change how the world views the incandescent is Intelligent Lighting Corp, which announced today the launch of the eCandescent™, the world's first energy-efficient, fully dimmable and toxic-free incandescent bulb that can last more than 100 years. The eCandescent is now available for pre-order through Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/611933709/532506860?token=9bf75da3

What makes the eCandescent unlike anything else in the marketplace is its "secret sauce" – a combination of an advanced filament technology, and its patented PowerDisc™ technology, together, which reduces the total energy consumption of the bulb up to 72 percent. The PowerDisc, which easily adheres to the base of the bulb before it is inserted into the socket, is a high-tech, solid-state rectifier that converts to 120 volts of alternating current (AC) to approximately 85 volts of direct current (DC).
"Consumers have a lot of lighting options, but all are misleading, from containing toxic chemicals to skewed lifespans," said Lisa Landau, CEO of Intelligent Lighting Corp. "The eCandescent is literally 'transparent,' taking the household 'Edison' and modernizing it to today's standards – safe, chemical-free, energy-efficient, luminous, cost-effective, and extremely long lasting."
eCandescent bulbs are now available for pre-order through Kickstarter, and include the following key features:
- Combining the Best of Old and New Technologies – The eCandescent is the reinvention of the "Edison" incandescent, offering the same warm glow, with advanced technology, reducing energy consumption up to 72 percent.
- Toxic-Free – Unlike CFLs (compact fluorescent lights), the eCandescent does not contain mercury, phosphor, harmful levels of EMFs, or ultraviolet radiation.
- Long-Lasting – Using the standard three-hour benchmark as used by CFLs and LEDs, while they claim between 3-5 (CFL) and 10-20 (LED) years of life, the eCandescent can last more than 100 years.
- Long-Lasting – The marketing tactics of CFL and LED manufacturers claim between 3-5 (CFL) and 10-20 (LED) years of life IF those bulbs are ONLY used three hours per day. Using that same three-hour guideline, the eCandescent can last more than 100 years.
- Highest Quality Light Available – With a CRI of 100, the eCandescent reveals true colors faithfully when compared to a natural light source.
- Reduced Heat Output – Unlike CFLs and LEDs, which produce excessive heat, the eCandescent can be used in all recessed, canned lighting and enclosed fixtures.
The eCandescent light bulb system is currently available for pre-order through Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/611933709/532506860?token=9bf75da3.
