Upcoming Philips Greener LED bulbs
On Earth Day in April, we were looking for ways to be greener and changing the lighting in our homes. Last week, Lightfair International 2009 was in NYC, which is the largest lighting trade show and conference in the world. One of the exhibitors at Lightfair, Philips, unveiled some new ideas about “green” lighting that may soon find their way into homes.
Philips revealed a 600-lumen A-shape LED bulb for consumers that will be able to replace traditional 40-watt incandescent bulbs. The LED bulb offered is 5 (five) times as efficient as the incandescent bulb. That is slightly more efficient than a 40-watt equivalent CFL bulb, which requires 10-watts.
Also, LEDs do not have CFL’s issues. CFLs have a small amount of mercury in them, which means they must be recycled and extra care must be taken when one breaks.
