Philips new L Prize LED has a suggested price of $50. The general lighting bulb came out of the Department of Energy’s L Prize competition to develop long-lasting, efficient, and less expensive LED lamps.
Philips claims its L Prize LED is the most efficient 60-watt LED equivalent and it improves on features from Philips own existing LEDs.
It gives off 940 lumens, consumes 9.7 watts, and has a color rendering index, which is a measure of light quality, of 93. It’s also rated to last 30,000 hours, which would be 20 years if used four hours a day. The color temperature is 2700, similar to an incandescent bulb, and is dimmable.
In terms of price, Philips is offering an “automatic incentive,” a discount that takes $10 off the price. Other local rebates can bring the cost down to as low as $25. Philips expects it to get the EnergyStar rating.

Hello! Us here at our college robotics club extremely like the lengthy work you have done for this blog. In fact, we have actually been producing a website on alternative lighting. Your site’s theme has been a great help for our new website. Please continue uploading the great content! Looking forward to reading more info from this amazing site! We just added this site to my own favorites list. =)

Ya I like it. Its very informative post. Thanks for share it. A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source. LEDs are used as indicator lamps in many devices and are increasingly used for other lighting. Introduced as a practical electronic component in 1962, early LEDs emitted low-intensity red light, but modern versions are available across the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared wavelengths, with very high brightness.
