New LED Streetlamps from Phillips
Found this news release over at cocolico today.. pretty neat..
however, I must agree with their point, why aren’t companies making self sustainable products. Something like this would be awesome to have some little solar panels on the top, so they charged during the day, and shine at night. This would create the ultimate environmental light. Could be used for pools, street lights, and all sorts of interesting ideas.
LEDs are taking our current luminaries by storm. They discretely hide in our office lamp, and have replaced our kitchen and bathroom light bulbs. But there’ve always been spotted inside homes; now, they stand out in public streetlights.
The LEDs of the Equinox Pedestrian Floodlight should last for approximately 50,000 hours, almost 6 years, and three times as long as lamps currently used in similar situations. Philips got an IF award for it, but insists on the need of its design as “a welcoming ambiance in the urban environment.”
