The Genie Company Reinvents the Light Bulb with New LED Bulb for Garage Door Openers

The Genie Company announces a unique innovation that brings an important new twist to a common Product with its Genie LED light bulb, designed with features specifically for garage door openers.

LED (light-emitting diode) and CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) bulbs, with their low energy use, have become more commonly used as incandescent light bulbs are phased out to improve energy efficiency. 

However, one side effect of LED bulbs is that they can potentially limit the range of garage door opener remote controls used for almost any brand of garage door opener.

However, one side effect of LED bulbs is that they can potentially limit the range of garage door opener remote controls used for almost any brand of garage door opener.

Another problem is that a cold or damp garage can weaken the performance and life of common LED light bulbs. However, the Genie LED light bulb comes through strong as testing shows it to perform at up to -30° C (-22° F) while also achieving damp location rating. Therefore, neither condition will lessen the performance of Genie's LED bulb when a homeowner needs it most.  

Additionally, the Genie LED bulb is shatter and vibration resistant to offset normal opener shaking, and provides optimal lighting for a low annual cost. While it boasts 800 lumens of brightness, equivalent to a 60 watt incandescent bulb, it uses only 10 watts of power. Depending on local utility rates, studies show the annual cost can be as little as $1.07 per year with a lifespan of about 25,000 hours under normal use.
