LED Is Compatible with GU24 Locking Ring for CFL Transition

American Illumination’s LED GU24 direct replacement lamp

American Illumination Inc., a creator of LED light engines, has unveiled its LED GU24 direct replacement lamp. Part of the company’s new Verde Retrofit Series, this new model is one of the few GU24 direct replacement light bulbs available and is the only one compatible with the GU24 locking ring for simple transitions from CFL to LED.

The Verde GU24 bulb replaces the 13W CFL, consuming only 8.5W of total power and emitting over 700 lumens (warm white) for an 80+ lumens per watt efficacy. This replacement bulb provides considerable light output for residential and commercial applications, such as decorative pendants, chandeliers, vanity lights and various indoor fixtures such as ceiling fans and desk lamps.

This new GU24 lamp contains Chip on Board (COB) LED technology, which means high heat conductivity and low thermal resistance for improved heat management. The aluminum housing is attractive and functional, presenting a threaded body that is compatible with standard GU24 locking rings and also acts as the bulb heat sink. The unique multidirectional diffuser emits a beam spread over 180 degrees for generous, even illumination without visibly unattractive LED hot spots.
