| Now here's something we've never seen before – a rechargeable light globe. Chinese company Magic Bulb has patented a new type of device which incorporates a battery and LED light globe to produce a light globe which uses only 4 watts but produces the equivalent light of a traditional 50W globe. | ||||||||||

If the power fails, the globe will keep running for around three hours or it can be screwed out of its socket and the handle extended to turn it into a bright torch. The Magic Bulb was on show in the China section of IFA in Berlin this week and is expected to retail for between US$30 and $40 when it finds distribution in other parts of the world. Does it have a significant and viable point-of-difference to other globes. It's a set and forget solution that will almost certainly come in handy when the electricity goes down next. It has a life of 20,000 hours, saves over 70 percent of the power used by an equivalent brightness 50W filament globe, and meets all the international standards. (Source: Gizmag) |
