Philips present the world's first clear LED lamp

Global lighting innovators Philips, have bought the traditional incandescent lamp into the 21st century by combining the aesthetic beauty of incandescent lamps with the latest LED technology. Philips' clear LED lamp has a unique innovative lens which emits beautiful light whilst retaining the classic shape of incandescent lamps. 

This latest development is the biggest change to incandescent lighting in the past 100 years. This 40 watt lamp contains the first LED capable of emitting light in all directions. Whilst maintaining the elegant shape and sparkling light of traditional incandescent lamps, Philips' clear LED lamp saves energy, has a lifetime of 25,000 hours, emits 470 lumens and even when dimmed maintains the same brightness levels as its 40 watt incandescent counterpart. 

Philips noted consumers' reluctance to switch-over to LEDs within the home as home-owners want to hold onto the traditional warm light and shape of incandescent lamps. Philips' clear LED lamp allows customers to hold onto the light they love whilst enjoying all the benefits of modern LED technology. The clear LED means the classic shaped lamp keeps its original beauty making it a seamless replacement for the standard 40 watt (A60 shape) lamp. This lamp is ideal for application in the living room and other areas where quality of lighting really matters. 

Rene van Schooten, CEO Light Sources & Electronics for Philips Lighting said: “With our L-prize LED bulb we showed that we could match the quality of incandescent light. With our clear LED bulb we’ve combined the aesthetic beauty and shape of the traditional incandescent with the benefits of LED. Using our innovations in LED the bulb is highly energy efficient, saving up to £8 per lamp per year.”

International Student House’s Bistro LED Switchover

MasterLED GLS

International Student House (ISH), London accommodates university students and interns from over 100 different countries. ISH is not just a place to stay, it is a social and culture centre which holds lectures, debates, themed suppers and culture nights. The ISH has its very own bistro which by day is a busy modern restaurant transforming into a lively nightclub in the evening. Due to its multipurpose use, the lighting installed in the bistro can often be on for almost 24 hours a day.

ISE is committed to reducing its environmental impact and carbon emissions. As part of an £180,000 refurbishment of the ISH’s ground floor, LED lighting was installed in the bistro area. The LED switchover has doubled lighting levels, reduced power consumption by 84%, delivered savings of over £1,000 per annum and cut carbon emissions by almost 6,300kg a year. The lighting engineers opted to use Philips’ MasterLED bulb, MasterLED spot and Latina LED down-lighters.

MasterLED Spot

Latina LED Down-light

Philips’ Latina down-lighters were installed in the server area as they fit perfectly with its new design. The costly GLS pendant down-lighters in the server area were retrofitted with Philips MasterLED 8 watt lamps. Before the LED switch-over the dining area was lit with over 100 50 watt halogen down-lighters, the replacement lamps needed to illuminate the space during the day and not impact the night club ambiance in the evenings. With energy saving in mind, ISE opted to install Philips MasterLED spot GU10 7 watts lamps and remove the existing energy consuming halogen lamps. 

Dimming additions and longer lamp life for Megaman’s Professional LED range…

Megaman have added a number of new products to their range of Professional LED lamps. Lamps in the Professional LED range have life of up to 50,000 hours; deliver superior lighting performance; have low maintenance costs; low power consumption and produce excellent lighting output in a variety of applications.

Newcomers to the Professional MR16 range include dimmable versions of their existing   6 and 8 watt non-dimmable lamps with GU5.3 caps. Lamps can be purchased in either warm white or cool white with choice of a 24 degree or 36 degree beam angle.

The Classic section of the Professional range now features a new improved version of its 8 watt lamp in an 8.5 watt. The original 11 watt has been surpassed by the new and improved 10.5 watt which offers equivalent lumens and a lower wattage. Both lamps are available in an E27 or B22 base.

 

8.5 and 10.5 watt Classic

Megaman have also added two new products to their economy range. This range is designed for use in domestic applications. The latest additions are the 3.5 watt R50 LED reflector and the 7.5 watt R63 LED reflector, both lamps have a life of 15,000 hours. The lamps feature a polished reflective surface behind frosted glass enabling them to produce excellent light quality. All lamps in the Economy range use Megaman's unique "heat sink" design which allows for heat dissapation meaning these lamps emit considerably less heat than their incandescent counterparts.

How Does it Work? Philips MASTER LED GLS has a yellow cap but emits white light...

The answer to this question is simple: there are no white LED chips, they simply do not exist.

Philips’ MASTER LED GLS lamps have an unusual yellow appearance yet still achieve a colour temperature of 2700k. As soon as the lamp is turned on its yellow appearance disappears. This new innovative lamp is available in 13, 17 and 20w BC and ES caps, is dimmable and has 25,000 hours life.

The lamps colour is enabled by its remote phosphor design. To emit white light, a blue led chip is used and a yellow phosphor is applied over it. The combination of these two colours invokes the phenomenon known as metamerism. Metamerism occurs when our eyes and brain perceive two different but complimentary colours as mixing together to create a third complementary colour.  When the blue light shines through the yellow phosphor it is down-converted into what our eyes perceived to be white light.

Philips MASTER LED's
omnidirectional beam capabilities

The powerful specifically positioned blue LEDs are countered by the yellow phosphor coating producing a bright white omnidirectional light. The light emitted from the lamp can be radiated in any direction, even downwards, allowing it to emulate an incandescent lamp.
