Energy Focus, Inc. announced that IntelliTube, its fluorescent replacement technology, has completed testing for use on the US Navy fleet. The completed testing has reportedly allowed Energy Focus to fulfill the first $1.9 million of the $23 million lighting supply contract it received in 2011. "With the completion of the testing of our new military IntelliTube product, Energy Focus's intelligent plug and play LED lamps can now replace the existing linear fluorescent tube lamps used in most of the Navy's light fixtures, " said Roger Buelow, Energy Focus CTO. "IntelliTube's proprietary 'brain, ' a tiny microprocessor that allows the circuit to detect and actively reconfigure itself, is the secret behind IntelliTube's ability to be used in the entire gamut of existing fluorescent sockets by simply plugging it in. " With the addition of IntelliTube to its lighting arsenal, Energy Focus can replace the bulk of the lighting aboard ships across the fleet with its broad range of 25 Navy qualified advanced LED lighting products. "I am delighted that IntelliTube has completed the Navy's rigorous testing and that Energy Focus is now positioned to fulfill the recently awarded $23 million Navy supply contract, " said Joe Kaveski, Energy Focus CEO. He continued, "Supplying IntelliTube to the US Navy is a tremendous business opportunity for Energy Focus. More importantly, the Navy can immediately begin to benefit from the significant energy savings gained through Energy Focus' LED lighting by simply changing the light bulbs installed on every Navy vessel.
