Recently awarded the prestigious Gold Award at the iF Design Awards in Germany, the Gold Award at the Good Design Awards in Japan and the Gold Award at the International Design Excellence Awards in America, Panasonic’s LED light bulb is a clear favourite sweeping three Gold Awards at three competitive design contests.

The Gold-winning LED Clear Light Bulb provides sparkling light, just like a clear incandescent light bulb. Using Panasonic's proprietary light emission and diffusion technologies, this LED light bulb has achieved virtually the same size, shape, light source position, light color, brightness, and light distribution as clear incandescent light bulbs commonly used worldwide. Its similarity to a conventional clear bulb in terms of its shape and quality of light makes users feel comfortable with it in their homes, encouraging consumers to replace conventional bulbs with long-life energy-saving LED bulbs. Therefore, it is expected to contribute greatly to global energy-saving efforts.

Ben Holmes, LED Product Manager at Panasonic UK comments: “We are delighted to receive three prestigious design awards from three different countries for our LED Clear Light Bulb. Our LED bulbs not only offer considerable energy savings, but also allow consumers to enjoy comfortable lighting effects in their home by delivering the same results as a 40W incandescent light bulb.”

The lamp delivers the same clear light as a 40 Watt (W) incandescent light bulb due to Panasonic’s unique light diffusion and heat radiation technologies. In addition, it boasts an energy saving of approximately 84 percent compared to a 40W incandescent light bulb and has a lifespan of approximately 40,000 hours, which is approximately 40 times longer than that of a traditional clear bulb. The lamp will be available across Europe from October 2012.
