Breakthrough LED bulb for ambience and economy

At Light+Building 2010 we announced the market introduction of our new dimmable 12 W lamp – the industry’s first LED replacement for the 60 W incandescent bulb.

With this new lamp, marketed in the United States as EnduraLED A19, facility managers and property owners now have an alternative to the most common incandescent bulb – one that delivers the same warm white light they are familiar with, and that has excellent dimming properties.

Replacing a standard 60 W bulb with EnduraLED A19, which uses just 12 watts of power and delivers an industry benchmark of 806 lumens, could save a business or commercial property up to USD 120 over the course of the life of the lamp.

Fending off the competition

This breakthrough lamp first came to prominence at the end of 2009, when it was named as the 3^rd best invention of the year by TIME Magazine. “With the flick of a switch, Philips may have just dramatically lowered America’s electric bill,” TIME commented.

And at its annual conference in September, the American Lighting Association recognized EnduraLED as the best LED replacement solution in the US A19 class. Twelve other lamp companies were vying for this coveted award, so this was a particular feather in our cap – especially as the award was judged by independent US lighting industry experts such as the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the California Lighting Technology Center.
