New awarded EcoClassic energy saving lamps combine fantastic light quality with 50 per cent energy saving
Royal Philips Electronics (AEX: PHI, NYSE: PHG) is launching a new range of state-of-the-art energy saving lamps at the Light+Building trade fair in Frankfurt, enabling consumers to create a perfect ambiance in their homes. The EcoClassic combines the very best light quality with an impressive 50% energy saving. The lamp starts instantly, is dimmable and comes in a retrofit design, which means that consumers can use the halogen energy savers in all traditional lamp sockets.
The EcoClassic 50 is the first ever energy saving lamp purposely designed to suit decorative fixtures where existing energy savers could not be used. Importantly, the EcoClassic 50 delivers a 50 per cent energy saving over traditional bulbs without compromising on light quality in the room or the visual effect of the lighting installation. Recognizing the lamp’s design credentials, earlier this year, the EcoClassic 50 won an International Forum (iF) Gold award.
The EcoClassic range includes the EcoClassic 50 and the EcoClassic 30.
- The EcoClassic 50 is a state-of-the-art energy saving lamp that combines the best light quality with a 50 per cent energy saving. The lamp lights like a halogen, has instant start and is dimmable. With its beautiful design it will be perfect for open lamp fittings around the home.
- The EcoClassic 30 lamp also lights like a halogen, has instant start is dimmable and saves 30 per cent energy.
Philips introduced the first energy efficient lamps in 1981 and has been continuously working to improve and broaden the range, providing consumers with more choice. The latest EcoClassic range now meets consumer demand for the very highest light quality from energy saving lamps. Now consumers can create a perfect ambiance and significantly reduce the amount of energy they are using for their home lighting with an attractive lamp that is suitable for any room around the home.
The full EcoClassic range will be available in all European markets from September 2008.
