Be Efficient with the NuGreen LED Desk Lamp

Wednesday, May 1st, 2013 | Author: OWC Katie

It’s human nature to constantly be looking for ways to be more efficient and improve ourselves. It’s why we invent things like the Ab Belt so we can not only achieve a six-pack, but do it while gnawing on a burrito. Okay, so that may not be the best example of efficiency, but you get what we mean.

And while we continue on this quest to become focused, cool, and efficient, there’s a desktop lighting solution out there that is already all of that and more. The NuGreen Flexible Neck LED Desk Lamp is so cool, it doesn’t even have to try. No, seriously—the NuGreen doesn’t emit any heat, so you don’t have to worry about heating up the room or accidentally touching it and acquiring a borderline third degree burn.

The LEDs in the lamp last up to 45,000 use hours—a life much longer than your average goldfish (note: not based on scientific fact but rather traumatic childhood memories). And not only is it energy efficient, but the bulbs are recyclable because they contain no mercury.

The light emitted by the NuGreen is similar to natural daylight, so you can stay up all hours of the night and be surprised when you realize it’s 5am and you’ve done nothing but watch cat videos on YouTube.

Another impressive feature about the NuGreen is the great value. While comparable lamps can run over $100, the NuGreen is only $57.99. And just like freshly baked cookies and puppies in little sweaters, people love the NuGreen! It’s been called “a great solution for people who need a good task light” by The Gadgeteer, and described as a “great choice for a desk lamp and perfect to illuminate even the most eclectic PC gamer’s domain” by Game Usagi. And that’s just a sampling of the wonderful feedback we’ve received.

No matter who you are or what you do, the NuGreen is the best way to illuminate your desk space so you can clearly see that “To-Do” List and choose to ignore it anyway. Well, look on the bright side—at least one thing about you will be efficient—your NuGreen Desk Lamp.

CES Highlights OWC Products In Green Guide

Thursday, January 10th, 2013 | Author: OWC Jarrod

It may not be spring yet, but that hasn’t stopped the folks here at Other World Computing from feeling especially green this week.

Aside from our Platinum Certified green headquarters in Woodstock, Illinois, OWC also strives to make products that have a minimal environmental impact. And a new feature shared with media and attendees at this year’s International CES exhibit – the 2013 International CES Green Guide – recognizes some of OWC’s “green” innovations.

Among the products featured in the 2013 International CES Green Guide are the Newer Technology Power2U AC/USB Wall Outlet and the NuGreen LED Desk Lamp. The Power2U was featured for its Smart Power design only that outputs enough charging power required by the attached device and spring-loaded Safety Shutters that turn power off to the USB ports to eliminate “vampire” energy draw when a connecting cable is removed.

The NuGreen also was highlighted for its efficiency. The NuGreen uses only 3.6 watts total power, saving both money and the environment. The NuGreen’s LEDs last up to 45,000 use hours – up to 22 times longer than tradition bulbs – and can be recycled because they contain no mercury.

The International CES Green Guide a self-guided tour of each exhibit hall to highlight the green and environmentally-friendly products, and OWC is one of just a handful of companies out of thousands in attendance to be featured. The technology-related trade show began Jan. 8 and runs through Jan. 11  at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas.
