SANTA FE SPRINGS, CA – November 2009 – Antares Lighting has launched their full line of high-power Alcor LED lamps, now available in volume quantities. The Alcor LED family includes the MR16 LED, MR11 LED, PAR16 LED, PAR20 LED, PAR30 LED, and the PAR38 LED. The new bulbs offer a low-energy consuming light source that utilizes premium high-power LEDs that are carefully selected to ensure overall color consistency. The Alcor series is ideal for retrofitting energy-hungry halogen bulbs that are recessed in cans, tracks, and pendants. Additionally the bulbs can be installed into new building constructions that require strict low energy requirements. All Alcor LED lamps are UL Listed.

Alcor MR16 & MR11 LED Lamp
The new Alcor MR16 and MR11 LED lamps consume only 3 Watts and 2 Watts respectively, and provide lumen output equivalent to 20 Watt halogen bulbs. Each Alcor MR16 and MR11 runs at 12V AC/DC and are compatible with both magnetic and electronic transformers, allowing greater compatibility with pre-existing halogen installations during retrofits.

The Alcor MR16 and MR11 lamps provide 50,000 hours of maintenance-free light output and consistent color rendering. Each Alcor MR16 lamp is available in warm white, neutral white, and cool white, in addition to optional beam spreads of 25°, 40°, and 60°. The Alcor MR11 lamp is available in warm white, neutral white, and cool white, and beam spreads of 30° and 60°.

Alcor PAR16, PAR20, PAR30, & PAR38 LED Lamps
The new Alcor PAR LEDs are designed to retrofit existing halogen PAR16, PAR20, PAR30, and PAR38 lamps. Each Alcor PAR provides lumen output equivalent to 35-75 Watt halogen bulbs while consuming only a fraction of energy, and lasting 25 times longer for over 50,000 hours of maintenance-free light output.

The Alcor PAR series can retrofit high energy-consuming PAR lamps right out of the box, featuring standard E26 medium sockets, 120/240 VAC universal voltage input, and full dimming capabilities for lamps installed in approved dimming circuits (not available on the Alcor PAR16). Each Alcor PAR lamp is available in warm white, neutral white, and cool white, and in beam spreads of 25°, 40°, and 60°.
