A Bay Light U-Save lamp, which draws just 115W, is a super energy saving light to replace a 250W HID lamp only at a 50% lower power consumption. It is an innovative product with a higher luminous efficacy and a more cost saving, delivering the return on investment (ROI) to the maximum. The investment in the conventional high-output LED lamps can be recovered in 5 to 10 years, whereas that of Bay Light U-Save takes less than 3 years.POSCO LED’s Bay Light is a trustworthy product developed for industrial applications, especially in the most challenging environments like a steel mill.
