Hybrid light bulbs are flexible because they can work with motion sensors, timers and dimmer systems, compared to CFL's which are not recommended for use with timers and controls.

Photocell timers bleed electricity that shortens the life of CFL. Timers allow trickle voltage to cycle through the lamp when it is off. This causes the lamp to try to start itself when there is not the proper voltage present. CFLs are labeled as unsuitable for these uses because of the shorter lamp life.

Hybrid light bulbs are safe and can be easily disposed. Fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury, which is a toxic waste. When fluorescent bulbs are disposed in the trash, they may break, causing mercury to escape into the air and soil even before reaching landfills. According to the EPA’s Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) data, approximately 2,079 to 2,554 metric tons of mercury were released to land in the U.S. between 2002 and 2003(1).

Compared to fluorescent light bulbs, which lack dimming capabilities, Hybrid light bulbs have a complete range of dimming and do not require special dimming systems.

Though they might cost more than old incandescent bulbs, Hybrid light bulbs will be comparable in cost to CFL's, yet will be greatly more affordable than LED's.

The Hybrid light bulb's specialized coated halogen capsule comes in such a compact size that Hybrid light bulbs will be available in a variety of shapes and sizes. They are perfect for different small light source applications.

Optical Efficiency - Hybrid light bulbs are the superior lighting technology for reflector (PAR and MR16) applications.  Hybrid PAR lamps have higher center beam candle power, allowing for light to be efficiently directed to where it is needed.

The typical Hybrid light bulb has an operating life of over 1 year in average residential application.  This life is not affected by turning the lamp on and off numerous times, compared to CFL’s where life ratings are shortened by the number of starts

Hybrid light bulbs are not affected by extreme cold or the high ambient heat associated with small, enclosed fixtures. The inherent nature of Hybrid technologies provides reliable operation over the rated life of the light bulb in almost any environment..

Mercury is a potent neurotoxin, and it's especially dangerous for fetuses, children and adults. The EPA has recommended the best way to avoid mercury exposure in the home is to not introduce the products that contain it.

Hybrid light bulbs contain no mercury and no lead, and are RoHS compliant. Hybrid lights are safer for you and the environment.

Just like an incandescent light bulb, hybrid lights are at full power at the start. Compared to fluorescent lights which are actually a discharge lamp and take several minutes to achieve full brightness, and are even slower in colder temperatures.

Hybrid light bulbs deliver the same, familiar quality of light as incandescent, having a perfect color rendering index (CRI) of 100.  Unlike several other energy efficient light technologies, people and objects illuminated with Hybrid light appear as their normal color.

Compared to incandescent light bulbs, Hybrid technology is capable of producing light that save up to 2/3 the energy while maintaining equivalent light output.  Unlike several other energy efficient light technologies, Hybrid light bulbs can operate on dimmers, timers, and motion sensors for additional energy savings.
