75W incandescent lamp is prohibited Hue Light difficult to promote

U.S. Opens 75W Incandescent Lamp

From January 1, 2013, the United States began to stop producing or importing 75W incandescent lamps, but businesses can still continue to clear inventory. The traditional 60W and 40W will also be phased out in 2014.

At the same time, starting from January 1, 2013, the European Union has ceased to sell incandescent lamps. This also means that the green energy program that has been operating for more than five years has become a reality. The European Commission passed a regulation in Brussels in 2007 requiring its member states to phase out incandescent and other high-energy-consuming lighting equipment for use in homes, industrial sectors and public places from 2009 to 2012, and to phase out incandescent lamps by the end of 2012. . The European Commission pointed out that the reason for using four years to phase out incandescent lamps and other high-energy lighting devices is to allow manufacturers to gradually adjust their product structure to meet consumers' energy consumption in lighting equipment, functions, aesthetics, and hygiene. Demand.

When consumers change bulbs, they can choose the same size or smaller bulbs to ensure they match the original specifications. At the same time, detailed instructions for bulb lamps should be carefully reviewed.

Philips Hue Light promotes defects
Previously announced by Philips, Hue lights lit up the trend of fully controlling LED bulbs through Android and iOS technology.

The E27's bulb, with a luminous flux of approximately 600 lumens, is equivalent to a traditional 50W incandescent bulb, and can match most of the existing lamp holders while also providing warm light. Users can use Android and iOS programs to control more than 50 lights, and adjust the brightness and color through the touch screen.

However, this invention is not perfect. When you use a common wall switch to turn the lamp on or off, the system will be reset to ignore the existing program and return to white light. This also brings great inconvenience to the user. For this reason, Philips also needs software updates to make up for this defect.

In addition, in order to spread the light evenly in the living room, the user needs to install a large number of such bulbs, which costs a lot. To buy three bulbs, you have to spend 179 euros to buy startup software. In addition, you have to pay 50 euros for each bulb.

Although the maximum energy consumption of Hue bulbs is only 6.3W, it still takes a long time to consider the cost savings.
