SpectralCast, Inc. announced that it has entered into a non-exclusive licensing agreement with Intelligent Lighting, Corp. SpectralCast will be licensing Intelligent's patented Power Disc(TM) and eCandescent(TM) technologies. The PowerDisc(TM) converts AC to DC power for use in a light socket.

Converting to DC power significantly reduces energy consumption and maintenance costs as well as extends bulb life up to one hundred times. It consists of a nylon reinforced thermoset plastic disc, a solid-state rectifying diode and a foam washer with an adhesive surface. The PowerDisc(TM) is attached to the base of a light bulb by means of the 3M adhesive coated foam so that the center contact of the bulb is in contact with one end of the diode.

When screwed into a light socket, the other end of the diode contacts the center contact of the light socket.
