"We are excited to announce that out LED T8 replacement lamps are among the first to meet the new UL IFAR/1598C safety guidelines" states Patrick Yu aleddra General Manager. "This demonstrates our long-term commitment in supporting industry standard towards reliable and safe LED T8 replacement lamps for the market. In addition to aleddra's flagship double-ended lamp with safety switches, we are introducing our single-ended LED T8 lamp for use in new fixtures that will be cost effective." Both LED T8 lamps are IFAR 1598C and now this gives our customers the best choices in retrofit and new construction.

Evans. "We've basically doubled our product offering for the lighting trade, while meeting the most current UL standards, putting the aleddra LED T8 in a class of its own.
