ST64 Squirrel Cage LED Filament Bulbs | Vintage Edison Teardrop Light Bulbs

The ST64 LED filament bulbs from New Lights bring the industrial-inspired light fixtures to a whole new level of sophistication yet balanced with a hint of traditional styling. These squirrel cage bulbs carry the dramatic geometric flair of vintage carbon-filament light bulbs while delivering all the functional advantages and benefits of LED lighting, including substantially improved energy efficiency, quality light output, extended service life, and low maintenance costs. These vintage style LED bulbs provide a fantastic and cost effective solution to those bars, restaurants, and coffee shops seeking to create the perfect atmosphere with the on-trend look of exposed lamping.

New Lights' LED filament bulbs are constructed of a series of up and down LED filaments which form a cage surrounding a central glass support. These LED filaments deliver the technological innovation in LED packaging. LED light sources, including surface mounted device (SMD), flip-chip and conventional chip on board (COB) LEDs, are highly directional by nature. Consequently, to achieve the light dispersion properties approximating or equaling that of carbon-filament or tungsten-filament lamps may require ominidirectional mounting of LEDs which is costly, labor-intensive and short of pure simplicity. The advent of chip-on-cord (CoC) LED packaging makes it possible to bring back the classic look and feel of incandescent lighting.

The LED filaments incorporated in New Lights’ squirrel cage bulbs are fabricated on a sapphire substrate which is transparent, thermally conductive and high temperature stable. The substrate is bonded with a string of LED chips which are connected in series. A uniform coating of yellow phosphor modifies the wavelength of the light emitted by LED chips to produce white light. New Lights' LED filaments are made using high quality phosphors to achieve superior quality of light in a wide range of color temperatures with high color rendering and chromaticity stability. The sapphire substrate features a high light transmission efficiency which allows the LED chips to emanate through the substrate, thereby creating an omnidirectional light distribution pattern.

Sapphire-based filament technology not only allows for a true 360 degree flux geometry, but also makes it possible to eliminate the bulky and costly aluminum heat sink. Thanks to the high thermal conductivity of sapphire substrate and elongated filament design, LED filaments can effectively dissipate thermal energy generated at the LED junction into thermally conductive inert gas that is filled to facilitate thermal conduction within the hermetically sealed glass bulb. Excellent thermal management prevents heat flux concentration which may cause phosphor degradation and lumen depreciation.

New Lights' LED filament bulbs are available in 2, 4, 6 and 8 watts with light outputs of 240, 480, 720 and 860 lumens respectively. They are powered by a driver IC that provides high efficiency load regulation at inputs of 110VAC, 220VAC or 85-265VAC. These vintage style LED bulbs come with Edison screw or Bayonet style nickel plated or brass Edison screw and Bayonet bases.
