Genie’s New LED Bulb for Garage Door Openers

Written by Jeff Myers | Sep 13, 2016 3:26:00 PM

Many common LED and CFL bulbs interfere with the range of garage door opener remotes. Maybe you’ve experienced this problem with your own remote and know how frustrating it can be. With Genie’s new “frequency friendly” LED bulb, this interference is reduced or eliminated! Designed specifically for garage door openers, this bulb works with most remotes.

What Sets This New Bulb Apart?

Many garage door openers vibrate or shake during operation. When this happens, the light bulb in the opener can be damaged or its lifespan shortened. The new LED bulb from Genie is different, however, designed to withstand a shaking force of 5G, which is far greater than what normal bulbs can endure. It’s also shatter resistant.

Regular bulbs can become dull if kept in an unheated or damp garage. The Genie LED bulb has been tested in low-temperature and damp environments and can withstand temperatures as low as -22 degrees F; the cold temperature and dampness do not affect the light’s performance. 

Not only does this bulb continue to shine brightly during unpleasant conditions, but it also offers great energy savings! According to Genie, the “LED bulb will operate for an estimated 25,000 hours, only cost about $1.07/year depending on local utilities, and supply a generous 800 lumens of light, equivalent to a 60 watt bulb.”
