How can a light bulb use less than 8-Watts of power but put out more light than a 60-Watt bulb?

It’s not a riddle. It’s the new GeoBulb from C. Crane. We’ve been obsessed with the wonder of LED lights ever since we first put two white LEDs into a flashlight instead of an incandescent bulb. That was over ten years ago, and since then we’ve tested and experimented with all sorts of different LED lights – from pocket flashlights to light bulbs. When we introduced our first line of LED Light Bulbs, the Vivid Series, just a couple years ago, the response was amazing. Suddenly there was an alternative way to light our homes and workplaces that didn’t require fragile filament-type bulbs or inconsistent compact fluorescents. While the Vivid Series is ideal for low lighting applications – as in task lights or reading lamps – our newest line of LED Light Bulbs, the GeoBulb, is in another category all together. The GeoBulb brings LED light bulbs up to the brightness of incandescent bulbs, but still maintains the qualities that make LEDs so very exceptional: they last 30,000 hours, use a fraction of the power of incandescent bulbs, generate very little heat and aren’t susceptible to vibrations or repeated on/off switching. One of the obstacles to producing a long-lasting, bright LED Light Bulb was that the components in an LED bulb would often fail before the LEDs. C. Crane’s Ralph Guest and Jarl Johansen worked together with our dedicated partners to overcome this obstacle, and their solution makes it possible for us to offer an unprecedented three-year warranty on every GeoBulb branded LED light bulb. This warranty is valid even if the bulb is used 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for three consecutive years. The GeoBulbs use our new Premium Quality-High Brightness (PQ-HB) bulbs. It’s just about a perfect light bulb.

We are all hoping to make better use of technology to cut down on our energy consumption and preserve more natural resources. At C. Crane we're doing our part for energy conservation as well. Our contribution? Something we call Premium Quality-High Brightness (PQ-HB) LED Bulbs. Unlike your average bulbs, which generally have to be replaced once a year, our new PQ-HB LED light bulbs will last over ten years - saving you money every day that they're on, and take a huge bite out of your energy consumption (and electric bill). While the first generation of LED light bulbs was better suited for reading and task lights and other direct lighting situations, our new PQ-HB GeoBulbs offer you direct replacements for conventional incandescent wedge base bulbs. The very first of these new PQ-HB light bulbs is our GeoBulb™ Wedge Base LED Light Bulb.

The GeoBulb Wedge Base lasts up to ten years, it is mercury free, and it generates very little heat. Based on wattage there is no reason you can't install 16 light fixtures on one transformer rather than the normal four. This saves in the initial cost, energy and the hassle of additional transformers and wiring. Made in Fortuna, California.

Warranty: We back the GeoBulb with an unprecedented, unconditional 3-year warranty against burnout. The 3-year warranty is valid even if used 24 hours a day for three consecutive years.

C. Crane seized on the potential of white LED's almost the day they came out in 1997. We designed the first multi-bulb, white LED flashlight and with that invention we helped keep hundreds of thousand of dead batteries out of the landfill. With the new PQ-HB GeoBulb, C. Crane hopes to give everyone an easy, useful and practical way to save energy and cut the costs of their energy bills.
