Panasonic’s Advanced Technology

Learn all about Panasonic’s advanced technology, which supports the company's commitment for more energy-efficient lighting :

More compact design with brilliant shape
Panasonic has successfully reduced the minimal lamp wattage down to 13W for a 70W incandescent equivalent, with an innovative “spiral arc tube” enabling the ultra compact size of the Light Capsule series still keeping tri-phosphor technology and higher colour rendering for natural looking light.

Ultra long life
Thanks to its unique quadruple coil technology, Panasonic energy-saving lamps last longer than most competitors. At an average use of 4 hours per day, the new Light Capsule lasts for up to 15.000 hours or 10 years!

Number 1 in efficiency (up to 70 lm/W)
The Panasonic Energy-Saving lamps provides more light per Watt than most competitors. With a wide voltage range (operating between 170V-250V) and a quick start of 40% of lumen output within 1 second, they can be used in a variety of applications such as in-floor lighting or staircases.

IDEAS for a cleaner future

Saving energy = saving the environment
By switching to Energy-Saving lamps, we also reduce CO2 emissions. At 360 g for each kWh of energy, changing 10 lamps is a reduction of 269 kg CO2 / year. If all 99 million households in Europe changed 10 bulbs, we save 74 billion kWh and emit 27 million tons of CO2 less. Nature would require almost 2 million cedar trees to absorb this amount of CO2!

Saving energy = saving money
All our lamps are A-Energy rating for excellent performance. Also, compared to 60W incandescent lamp, Panasonic ESL of 13W provides more light, but also saves 47W of energy. Changing 10 lamps saves 470 W, and using them for 1 year saves over 857 kWh. At an average electricity cost of 0,15 €/kWh, this means a yearly saving of 128 €. And because Panasonic’s lamps last up to 15 times longer, you keep on saving money for a many years to come! (e.g. 0,15 € / kWh is the cost for electricity in Germany in February ‘09, as per EU data; source: www.energy.eu)

“AKARI” Philosophy
Akari is the defining Panasonic Lighting Philosophy since 1936. Akari is a Japanese word that not only means the actual physical lighting, but also takes into account the space and the feelings of those who live there. “Akari” is rooted deep into each culture and touches people’s everyday lives and feelings. Through “Akari” Philosophy, Panasonic aim since over 70 years now, to create most pleasant atmospheres around the world via warm and optimum lighting while co-existing with our environment.

Environmentally sound

All Panasonic Energy-Saving lamps comply with EU Green Policies, as all of the tubes are made of lead-free glass, and the use of water-based adhesives instead of glue prevents the release of toxic substances. Recyclable plastics mean scarce resources are conserved and the burden on landfills is reduced.

No liquid mercury
All Panasonic Energy-Saving lamps use amalgam technology, which is an eco-friendly and safer alternative to liquid mercury. This prevents the release of toxic mercury during the manufacturing process and even of the lamps should break, no mercury will be released in the atmosphere. Not only does this protect the environment, it also allows us to produce more compact lamps with excellent lumen maintenance. Panasonic lamps have less than 2 milligrams (0,002 grams) of mercury (compared to 0,5 g in dental amalgam filling or several grams in older thermometers) which is under the 5 mg limit set in the Restriction on Hazardous Substances Directive (2002/95/EC).

End of Life Recycling in the European Union
Please note that all used compact fluorescent lamps have to be recycled in a specialised circuit to reduce their impact on the environment. Because some of their components such as mercury, electronics, lead glass and deposits from the transformation of fluorescent gas can be dangerous and should therefore be kept apart from normal household waste.
