How Philips
is Bringing LED to You
A couple of
emergencies kept me from here the last two days. Things are better, however, and I’m
back. A lot of the products we carry on
the website come from Philips, and since I’ve already reviewed the newest
products listed, I thought I’d turn to the Internet to find some news on what
Philips is doing right now. The company
is currently on a nationwide tour called the Philips LED Light Experience.
The company rolled
its mobile exhibit into the Miami Home Design and Remodeling Show at the Miami
Beach Convention Center this weekend (March 23-26).
The exhibit
provides hand-on mini-exhibits that allow visitors to explore just exactly what
LED lighting can do for the home. They
can learn how an LED bulb is made, what makes them so different from
incandescent and fluorescent bulbs and get tips on how to brighten up and green
up their homes. It focuses mainly on
Philips’ line of AmbientLED and EnduraLED bulbs.
AmbientLED
bulbs can be used all around the home – in the kitchen, bedroom, office,
indoors or outdoors – just about anywhere inside or outside the home where
there is a standard fixture and outlet.
I admit, when I first saw the line of LED bulbs, I thought the shape
looked a little funny, but as I researched the line more closely, I found the
odd shapes help improve the quality of the light the bulb produces.
Since I
haven’t been to or seen the show, I don’t know exactly which bulbs are being
showcased, but their current pride and joy – the EnduraLED™ Dimmable 60W
Replacement (10W) A19 LED light bulb, winner of the DOE’s L Prize® - must be
one of them.
The mobile
exhibit travels a whopping 20 miles to its next tour stop in Hollywood, Florida
on March 27. Other cities on the tour
include Atlanta, GA; Seven Corners, VA; Gaithersburg, MD; Norwalk, CT and
Queens, NY.
