Philips Electronics India Ltd. on Tuesday announced the launch of an array of LED (Light Emitting Diodes) lighting range products for the home segment.
Philips has currently introduced five models of lights based on the LED technology, which are essentially small, solid light bulbs that are extremely energy-efficient, and are widely seen as the future of lighting technology.
The LED models, priced in the range of Rs 270 to Rs 750, cost more than the CFL (compact fluorescent lamps) that are available in the market, buare much more energy-efficient and do not have the mercury contamination problem associated with the CFLs.
Longer lifetime
According to the company, the advantages of LEDs include "a longer lifetime, compact size and flexibility in design, digital control programmability, light output with no ultra violet and infra red radiation and safety of usage because of low voltage and low heat operation."
Mr Mathew Job, Marketing Director of Philips' Lighting Division, said, "LEDs is the next wave of lighting technology. LED Lighting Systems provide a much higher colour saturation and brilliance than conventional light sources."
