Philips LED Light Bulb Uses Less Than 7WWhile environmentalists are still encouraging people to switch their incandescent lights over to compact fluorescent ones in the interest of saving energy, a new type of light bulb is just months away from the North American market. Philips said that it will release an LED-based light bulb--dubbed the “Master LED”--in U.S. and Canada within the first half of 2009 (some media outlets have said it will actually ship in July). The Master LED is already available in 230V countries (North America uses 110V), looks pretty similar to a regular screw-in light bulb, and will be compatible with most lighting appliances today. According to Philips, a single Master LED retrofit bulb uses less than 7W of power, can replace traditional incandescent bulbs up to 40W and lasts 45,000 hours compared to just 1,500 hours for the conventional solution. It’s also lead and mercury free so it’s just as green as it is energy friendly! |
