Panasonic Energy Saving Lamps - Ideas for a cleaner future
As part of Europe’s commitment to the Kyoto protocol, all members of the European Union agreed to forbid the production and sales of traditional light bulbs (incandescent), starting from 2009. With regulation that came into effect in March 2009, the EU is actively promoting the use of more energy-efficient lighting, such as compact fluorescent lamps (80% savings), also known as energy-saving lamps or ESL.
Through its Eco Ideas direction and its Zero Co2 emission house concept, Panasonic is actively promoting its Energy Saving Lamps, not only compact fluorescent lamps but also and especially LED lamps. For its 100 years anniversary, Panasonic aim indeed to become No1 Green Company in the electronics industry by 2018.
Panasonic Lighting Company being 4th world’s global manufacturer of light bulbs, has also strongly developed LED bulb, selling in 2010 some 4.5 million units in Japan. With its wide distribution network in Europe, Panasonic aim to bring its LED expertise of Japan’s No1 market share into Europe’s competitive marketplace.
Panasonic has successfully reduced the ESL minimal lamp wattage down to 13W for a 60W 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.
Thanks to its unique quadruple coil technology, Panasonic ESL last longer than most competitors. At an average use of 2.7 hours per day, the new Light Capsule lasts for up to 15.000 hours or 15 years! Compare lifetime between products!
The Panasonic Energy-Saving lamps provide 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.
