EnduraLED A21 Bulb By Philips To Be Launched At LightFair International 2011
Philips is in the news again. At the LIGHTFAIR INTERNATIONAL trade show, which is the world’s largest architectural and commercial light trading show and conference, Philips will launch the world’s first LED replacement for a 75 watt incandescent light bulb. The LFI is scheduled on May 17, 2011 from 6 to 8 pm at the Franklin Institute Museum in Philadelphia. The conference will be providing with the latest energy efficient designs, products and technologies with more than 475 innovative exhibitions.
#-Link-Snipped-#The EnduraLED A21 bulb which is also called as the “75W replacement†will definitely provide a bright future but at somewhat higher price. As per the analysis by Philips, a total of 90 million, 75W incandescent bulbs are being sold annually in the United States. The launch of this new product is definitely going to kill the 75W bulb market for the reduction in the energy bill overpowers the ‘high price tag’. The EnduraA21 is basically a 17 watt light bulb and consumes 80% less energy than its conventional counterpart. It also lasts 25 times longer thus ensuring durability and reliability of the product. The first of this kind was the EnduraLED 12.5W bulb which was a replacement for the commercially available 60W incandescent bulb. 25W and 40W equivalent are also available with Philips.
"We continue to test the boundaries of LED innovation with exciting products that provide energy efficiency, ambiance and extraordinary reliability," said Ed Crawford, General Manager of Lamps for Philips Lighting North America. [As Quoted by: Engadget | Technology News & Reviews]
If switched to this LED bulb, it is anticipated that it has the potentials to reduce the power consumption by 5,220 megawatts. It can also eliminate the carbon emission of 3,255,205 metric tones every year which is equivalent to removing one million cars from the road. The 17 watt bulb provides a color temperature of 2700k and a Color rendering index (CRI)of 80. It has a rated life of 25,000 hours. It also ensures a cost saving of a whooping $630,000,000. Moreover this bulb at 17W beams a light of 1,100 lumens. Thus it definitely provides you with a bright tomorrow but at a cost of $40 to $45 per piece. Let us hope Philips does some more rigorous research so that we get this amazing technology at a subsidized rate. Kudos for Philips!
