Philips has launched new-generation 7W, 8W, 10W and 13W LED light bulbs in the Taiwan market at retail prices of NT$399 (US$13.3), NT$399, NT$499 and NT$599 respectively, according to Philips Taiwan.
The light bulbs are 40% higher in brightness than omni-directional LED bulbs of the same wattage offered by other vendors as measured in 3-meter down-lighting distance, Philips Taiwan cited testing by the Taiwan Electric Research & Testing Center as indicating. In addition, the new Philips light bulbs consume about 20% less power than models of the preceding generation and have passed IEC 62471 photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems certification, Philips Taiwan said.
Philips new-generation LED light bulbs have service life of about 15,000 hours, equivalent to use for about 10 years, Philips Taiwan indicated.
