The world's most energy-saving warm white LED light source----Development of Philips

Philips on April 11 announced a new lighting innovations led to the world: it developed a foundation currently applicable to lighting the world's most energy-efficient led lights tube. Prototype samples of this product have been produced and tested to produce 200 lumens/watt of high quality white light (the luminous efficacy of fluorescent lamps is 100 lumens per watt, while the efficacy of conventional bulbs is only 15 lumens per watt); It is only half of the energy consumption of similar LED products on the market.

In the total energy consumption of the world, lighting energy consumption accounts for more than 19%. This innovation from Philips is expected to significantly reduce energy consumption and energy use costs globally. The 200 lumens/watt LED tube is expected to be introduced to the market in 2015 and will be used first for office and industrial lighting.

The prototype of this LED tube of Philips is the first time that the lighting engineer does not affect the quality of the lighting (comfortable and effective lighting requires a color temperature of 3000-4000K, the color rendering index is not less than 80, and the saturated red index R9 is not low. At 20.) achieved a luminous efficacy of 200 lumens / watt, and all indicators meet the strict requirements of office lighting. “This innovation is another major breakthrough in the LED lighting industry and will further drive the transformation of the lighting industry,” said Renevan Schooten, CEO of Philips Lighting and Electronics. “The innovation of Philips once again highlights us. The business value and capabilities in the field of lighting highlights Philips' expertise in LED technology, light sources, applications and systems. Not long ago, we just passed Hue, bringing quality lighting experience to users with high-quality LED lighting . Now, We have taken a big step forward in the field of innovation, doubling the lighting efficiency of LEDs. We are extremely excited to think that this innovation will save customers and the planet a lot of cost and energy."

Save a lot of energy and cost

LED tubes will replace fluorescent tubes that are currently widely used in office and industrial settings. According to statistics, the fluorescent tubes currently in use around the world account for more than half of all lighting products; therefore, if you replace them with 200 lumens/watt LED tubes that double the efficiency, energy consumption and cost will be greatly reduced.

For example, in the United States alone, fluorescent lamps consume approximately 200 terawatt-hours of electricity per year. If you replace these lamps with 200 lumens/watt LED tubes, you will save about 100 trillion watt-hours of energy (equivalent to 50 medium-sized power plants), saving more than $12 billion in air. Carbon dioxide emissions will also be reduced by 60 million metric tons.
