FIRST, a not-for-profit public charity founded by inventor Dean Kamen, strives to cultivate young people’s interest and participation in science, technology, engineering and math.
The agreement encourages FIRST middle school and high-school students to sell LED bulbs, produced by Lighting Science Group, in their home communities.
FIRST founder Dean Kamen said Lighting Science Group’s new LED bulbs give the teams a new dimmable option to sell.
This second generation FIRST Green LED offering includes an ultra-efficient 60W or 40W equivalent A19 LED bulb that is omni-directional, dimmable, lasts an estimated 50,000 hours, and has a five-year warranty.
