Clear-Lite Holdings, Inc. (“ClearLite”) (OTCBB: CLRH), a leading innovator of eco-friendly lighting and the appreciably safer ArmorLite™: A Safer CFL™, today announced that its ArmorLite Compact Florescent Lamp (CFL) product, which will be introduced nationally in December, passed the test at an independent accredited third-party testing lab.
Unlike the commonly found spiral CFLs, the patent-pending ArmorLite looks like an incandescent bulb. It is in fact a compact fluorescent light bulb hidden inside a glass-shaped safety coated cover, similar in design to an incandescent light bulb, that seems to be preferred by most consumers. The safety coating is designed to help capture broken glass and mercury, providing an added level of safety, between you and the toxins inside the CFL.
A third-party independent ISO 17025 accredited testing laboratory has tested the new ArmorLite SAFETY ECO CFL™. When tested, the levels of mercury recorded from our broken ArmorLite bulb were below the lowest levels that the equipment is capable of detecting; A Safer CFL.
“Having an accredited independent third-party testing facility test your product and have results that show the analyzer is not detecting any mercury is very gratifying and helps vindicate the ArmorLite SAFETY ECO CFL," said Thomas Irvine, President and CEO of ClearLite.
“As consumers become more aware of the safety concerns surrounding potential mercury contamination and start taking note of the EPA’s warnings about broken CFL bulbs, they will see how ClearLite’s ArmorLite technology can provide a clear solution and a safer alternative for themselves and their families, rather than using standard CFLs with liquid mercury," Irvine added.
As a further precaution in helping provide a safer greener world, ClearLite’s products and technologies contain no liquid mercury. Instead ClearLite uses amalgam, an alloy of mercury with other metals in a solid form, helping make compliance with government regulations for mercury reduction easier to meet.
