Designed to enhance the quality and experience of light while reducing lighting’s impact on the environment, Verbatim’s product line includes a range of energy efficient LED retrofit lamps, high colour rendering LED components and solutions and colour tunable OLED panels.

Verbatim retrofit LED lamps are designed as high quality, energy efficient replacements for incandescent and halogen lamps, providing clear, uniform light distributions. Ideal for commercial and residential applications, Verbatim LED lamps can reduce energy consumption by over 70%. And with lifetimes up to 40,000 hrs, replacement and maintenance costs are drastically reduced. Verbatim retrofit LED lamps are available in popular sizes and warm colour temperatures to duplicate the experience of traditional lamps. Backed by Mitsubishi Kagaku Media’s quality control and industry leading warranties, Verbatim’s retrofit LED product line follows Verbatim’s motto: “Technology You Can Trust”.
