Slenderized Lightbulb Designs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The New SlimStyle LED Philips Bulb Will Phase Out Incandescents

— December 18, 2013 — Art & Design
The 'SlimStyle' is a new Philips bulb that looks a lot like a classic incandescent light bulb that's been squashed. It's comparable to the power of a 60-watt incandescent, but it uses an LED that uses a mere 10.5 watts. Plus, it has a lifetime of about 22 years, which should seriously cut down on the number of times bulbs need to be changed.

Just like any other lightbulb, it fits into standard sockets. From the front, it looks like a regular bulb, but in profile is where you can really see why it's been named the 'SlimStyle.'

LED lights like these will become more popular in the coming years, as they come down in price and especially when it will become illegal to import or manufacture 40 and 60 watt incandescent bulbs, starting January 1st.
Trend Themes
1. Slimstyle LED Lights - The SlimStyle LED Philips bulb is a sustainable alternative for incandescent bulbs, with longer life and lower wattage.
2. Energy Efficient Lighting - More LED bulbs with lower wattage and longer life expectancy will be developed as governments push for sustainability.
3. Disruptive Lighting Innovations - The development of light bulbs with aesthetic appeal, minimal environmental impact, and longer life expectancy opens up new innovation possibilities in the lighting industry.
Industry Implications
1. Lighting Industry - The adoption of LED lights and development of energy-efficient lighting products will continue to shape the industry landscape.
2. Sustainable Energy Industry - The production of sustainable lighting solutions will create new business opportunities in the energy industry.
3. Home Appliance Industry - The shift towards sustainable energy and lighting presents opportunities for manufacturers to develop energy efficient smart home appliances.
