Clear-Lite Holdings, Inc. (“ClearLite”) (OTCBB: CLRH), a leading innovator of eco-friendly lighting and the appreciably safer ArmorLite™ CFL, reported today Tim Hornyak, the writer of Crave, the CNET Gadget Blog, has featured ClearLite’s ArmorLite SAFETY ECO CFL because its SX-4000 silicon skin is designed to help capture the broken glass and mercury, when the bulb inside shatters, providing an adding level of safety between you and the toxins inside.
The article, headlined, “CFL bulb with safety skin keeps mercury inside,” also described the Environmental Protection Agency’s guidelines for dealing with the dangers of mercury contamination from broken standard CFLs.
“Current EPA guidelines call for evacuating people and pets from the area where a bulb has shattered,” the article noted. “They also call for the room to be aired out for 15 minutes and the air conditioning to be shut off.”
“We value the recognition that our ArmorLite CFL has received in the CNET Gadget Blog, Crave,” said President and CEO Thomas Irvine of ClearLite. "The Blog features all the newest and coolest gadgets and products hitting the marketplace and we see our SAFETY ECO CFL as being the next generation, cutting-edge product to have."
ClearLite constantly embraces innovation; its cutting-edge products help reduce energy use, provide a more natural light and now A Safer CFL. Unlike the commonly found spiral design 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; it is similar in design to the incandescent light bulb that seems to be preferred by most consumers. ClearLite offers a wide range of green lighting solutions for both retail and commercial clients. It has focused on earth-friendly, energy-saving “natural” lighting and now A Safer CFL, the patent-pending ArmorLite SAFETY ECO CFL.
