The world's dwindling resources, worsening environmental damage, energy saving so become more important. Adhering to this philosophy, the U.S. Department of Energy three years ago started organizing contests to encourage the country's main led lighting manufacturers to develop more efficient, more technologically advanced new products that households and industrial energy conservation.
This is the famous "light tomorrow," lighting contest prize. Washington has just announced the 2011 winners of the contest, United States Philips Electronics companies to obtain one of the awards, the game content is a way to replace the current U.S. production of the ordinary 60-watt light bulbs use more efficient led light bulbs.
After months of hard work, Philips has developed a LED lights Bubble, regardless of efficiency, quality, prices are in line with life expectancy or the stringent requirements of the game.
The bulb consumes only 9.7 watts, life of 250,000 hours (the current standard is an ordinary light bulb consumes 60 watts, life of 1500 hours), to maintain the same with an ordinary light bulb illumination. Although the market in 2012 after the initial price set at 30 euros, but 10 years is expected to price the manufacturers can be reduced to a quarter of the initial price.
We can calculate the following about the significance of this new product: the United States sold 425 million per year 60-watt bulb, so use the new super light bulbs can replace these bulbs means 83% energy savings, the currency is converted into an annual $ 3.9 billion. In addition, it can avoid 20 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions. These energy savings equivalent to annual electricity consumption in Washington DC three times to provide lighting for the 18 million households.
As a bonus, Philips will receive $ 10 million prize money to help the company to produce the first "super-bulb."
