Bulb not only smart it
Smart is not a light bulb finally pursue practical is. One called The Finally Light Bulb company recently introduced a new light bulb, no WiFi no Bluetooth, using induction technology.
Smart home since ignite war has been no shortage of ambitious business or entrepreneur, trying to find better products to replace incandescent light bulbs on the ceiling. But how many of them there is a light bulb is too expensive, the product is difficult to achieve, the review process is too long and the like questions.
Despite the obstacles, but fought and gone. The company's founder John Goscha, had previously set up a specialized dry-erase whiteboard paint company, but this seems to be determined to bring little change for ordinary living room.
Finally the company uses a bulb based on the induction of innovative lighting technology, which they call "Acandescence ™", with copper wire inside the bulb (instead of tungsten filament) wrapped in a shrink to three inches of the sensor antenna. This makes the light bulb is equivalent to a built-in magnetic field, generated by the pump and the UV bulb wall is coated with phosphor and some play a role, resulting in visible light illumination.
According to the company, the bulb of the biggest advantages is its warm light suitable quality, not weaker LED lights, LED lights, but the price was not so frightening. Many consumers do not like energy saving lamps, because the lighting effect is not satisfactory, but recently the price of LED lights has soared to tens of dollars. Finally the company than ordinary incandescent bulbs in terms of efficiency higher than 75%, and more than 15 times the service life.
The company said the first 60-watt bulbs will be sold in retail stores in July, the price is $ 7.99. 75-watt and 100-watt bulbs will be sold in autumn. The company's manufacturing plant in India has been put into use, and the relevant regulatory review has passed, it seems everything is smooth.
Many companies are moving in the way of high-tech development, smart lamp function is complex and diverse, but the real household products for the public, it should be practical and affordable. For light bulbs, the function in the first place is the lighting, how to make the light does not irritate the eyes, on this basis, go to the development of other energy-saving functions, communication and so on. In today's practical lamps, CFL lamps and energy-saving benefits, but the most basic quality of light is often criticized. The relatively good because of the high price of LED lights is difficult to ordinary families. Finally the company looks bulbs to achieve a balance between the two, maybe we can look forward to it a little more.
