Energy
Saving Lamps are getting popular for their tremendous savings in energy and
cost. There are many brands in the market offering energy saving lamp
which comes in different quality. Since the manufacture of energy
saving lamp requires sophisticated design, advanced technology and
upscale equipment, a reputable and well-established brand which
receives recognition from the industry offers more assurance on quality
and safety.
MEGAMAN® is a name for innovation and quality. Over the years, MEGAMAN®
has been honoured with awards and recognitions from various
organisations worldwide, assuring the technological, environmental and
product quality achievements in the industry.
Choose the Right Wattages
As
energy saving lamps consume 80% less energy compared with traditional
light bulbs, you can choose a lower wattage energy saving lamp to
replace your incandescent bulb, halogen reflector or metal halide lamp
with reference to the "Wattage Conversion Table" below.
MEGAMAN®
Energy Saving Lamps are available from 4W to 320W, which is equivalent
to 20W to 400W of those energy inefficient counterparts, compatible for
both home and commercial applications. MEGAMAN® Energy Saving Lamps can fully replace incandescent bulbs and halogen reflectors.
Look for the Energy Label with the Highest Energy Efficiency Class
Many
countries and regions, such as EU and Hong Kong, have adopted energy
efficiency policies and introduced the mandatory or voluntary Energy
Efficiency Label scheme to provide information on energy consumption
and efficiency to help consumers make better purchasing decisions.
The
energy efficiency of the appliance is rated in terms of a set of energy
efficiency classes on the label. For example, Enforced by the EU
directive, Grade A is the most energy efficient while Grade G
represents the least efficient. The labels also provide other useful
information to the customers for comparison with various models.
On every label, you will find:
 | | 1. the energy efficiency category from A to G | | 2. the luminous flux of the bulb in lumens | | 3. the electricity consumption of the lamp in watts | | 4. the average lamp life in hours |
|
MEGAMAN®
Energy Saving Lamps receive energy efficiency recognition from
organisations worldwide, reassuring its luminous efficacy. Most of
MEGAMAN® Energy Saving Lamps are rated CLASS
A on Energy Label recognised by the EU and awarded Energy Label by Hong
Kong Voluntary Energy Efficiency Labelling Scheme for Compact
Fluorescent Lamps. Moreover, MEGAMAN® Energy
Saving Lamps meet the standard outlined in the Energy Efficiency
Recommended Program as certified by the Energy Saving Trust of the
United Kingdom.
Check the Lamp Life of an Energy Saving Lamp
When
purchasing a new light source or replacement bulb, lamp life is a very
important consideration. An energy saving lamp with a longer lamp life
saves you cost and effort on maintenance, it also reduces solid waste
on disposal. In general, an energy saving lamp can operate from 6,000
to 15,000 hours. Taking time factor into consideration, the average
cost of an energy saving lamp can be much lower than an incandescent
bulb.
| | Lamp Cost | Operating Hours | Average LampCost per hr | | Energy Saving Lamp (11W) | GBP £1 | 10,000 | USD 0.0005 | | Incandescent Bulb (60W) | GBP 30p
| 1,000 | USD 0.001 |
|
MEGAMAN® Energy Saving Lamps, enhanced with INGENIUM®
technology, enables deliverance of incredible lighting performances (7%
brighter than normal energy saving lamp), extended operating life up to
15,000 hours, improved switching cycle of 600,000 times and tremendous
reduction in lamp size, making them more durable than ever.
Choose the Appropriate Colour Temperature
Colour
Temperature is a measure of the Colour of Light, represented in the
unit K (Kelvin). The lower the colour temperature, the light appears as
yellow or red of warm colour tone. Such light source is most suitable
for a homey environment to create a comfortable feel. On the other
hand, the higher the value, the light appears as blue or white of cool
colour tone. Consumers can select the colour temperature of the energy
saving lamp based on their preference, application occasions and
lighting effect desired.
MEGAMAN®
Energy Saving Lamps are available in different colour temperatures:
2700K Warmwhite, 3000K Warmwhite, 4000K Coolwhite and 6500K Daylight
for you to choose from.
| Colour Temperature | | 2700K | = | Warmwhite |  | | 3000K | = | Warmwhite |  | | 4000K | = | Coolwhite |  | | 6500K | = | Daylight |  |

Check the Size and Match the Lamp Base
Bulbs
come in different shapes, sizes and functions. As the technology of
energy saving lamp is getting matured, it is now available as many
shapes and in comparable size as incandescent lamps. The most common
shapes are candle, bulb, tubular and reflector.
In choosing an
energy saving lamp, you have to determine the function of your lamp.
Will it be used for mood lighting, decorative lighting, safety,
reading, as a focal point, or in some other way? For example, you may
need a candle bulb for your chandelier or a high intensity bright
reflector lamp for your reading lamp.
Another consideration is
the lamp base. Check the lamp base of the lamp fixture to determine the
one which fits into it. The most common ones include:
| Lamp Bases | | Small Edison Screw | = | E14 |  | | Edison Screw | = | E27 |  | | Bayonet cap | = | B22 |  | | GU10 | = | GU10 |  | | GX53 | = | GX53 |  |

MEGAMAN® Energy Saving Lamps are available in different shape and lamp bases. Dedicated in developing new technology, MEGAMAN®
Energy Saving Lamps are also equipped with different capabilities such
as dimming, sensors, after-glow features, etc., providing quality total
lighting solution to consumers.
Concern Environmental Issues
The
world is facing a lot of problems such as global warming, greenhouse
effect, pollutions, energy depletion, etc., which do not only endanger
ourselves, but the future of our posterity. While "Going Green" is the
trend, it is everyone's responsibility to take immediate action to
protect the environment.
Some brands of energy saving lamps pay
more effort in environmental protection and strictly control the use of
hazardous materials including lead and mercury in their manufacturing
process. Moreover, those using recycling materials for product and
packaging reduce solid waste.
Being a true eco-friendly lighting company, MEGAMAN® sets environmental management as one of the company's highest priorities. All MEGAMAN®RoHS compliant. Eco-friendly materials, such as AMALGAM, a solid form of mercury which would not release mercury vapour under room temperature, are used as well, making MEGAMAN® the best choice in energy-saving lighting. Energy Saving Lamps exported to Europe, in which lead-free glass tubes, recyclable plastic, water-based adhesive are used, are used as well, making MEGAMAN® the best choice in energy saving lighting.
