Induction light bulb poses low-cost challenge to LED  

The first energy-efficient A type light bulb that makes use of induction technology to replicate the warm and reassuring glow of the now-banned incandescent bulbs has been unveiled by The Finally Light Bulb Company.

The 60 Watt, 800-lumen Finally light bulb claims to incorporate the same classic design of an incandescent bulb, provides the energy-efficiency consumers demand and produces light quality that LED and CFL bulbs cannot deliver at an affordable price.

Turning on instantly, just like a traditional incandescent bulb, the Finally bulb claims to be 75% more efficient than an incandescent and will last 15 times longer providing up to $75 worth of savings during its lifetime. Using a new technology that is not LED-or CFL-based, the Finally bulb is the first light bulb made in the recognizable light bulb shape to reproduce the reassuring warmth and omnidirectional light of incandescent bulbs. Ideal for indoor and outdoor use, Finally bulbs fit everywhere and work anywhere. The Finally bulbs will retail for less than $8.00 in the USA.

Finally bulbs use Acandescence, a new and innovative lighting technology developed exclusively by the Finally Light Bulb Company with one goal in mind: to reliably recreate the same light as incandescent without the energy waste and without excessive cost. The light it produces claims to be comfortable on the eyes and affordable as well as being both eco and consumer-friendly. With roots in induction technology, Acandescence uses a copper coil not a tungsten filament or an electrode to generate light. A dedicated team, including Dr. Victor Roberts, the former Head of Lighting Research at General Electric and Dr. Walter Lapatovich, formerly of Osram Sylvania, successfully compressed and harnessed the best natural attributes of the induction process to create Acandescence.

John Goscha, Founder and CEO of the Finally Light Bulb Company, said: "Until now, consumers basically had a choice between low-quality light, or paying exorbitant prices for brighter light that can't help but feel cold and clinical. I challenged Finally's team of scientists to engineer a new, energy-efficient lighting technology that would look and work just like our old incandescents, and produce that same warm, familiar glow we all love. And they did. Our light bulbs capture it all."

"The big lighting companies are focused on producing replacement bulbs with LED and CFL technology," said Dr. Ihor Lys, a board member of the Finally Light Bulb Company. "Both are undeniably efficient, but LEDs pose a huge affordability challenge for consumers, while CFLs have a really hard time replicating the quality of light and Instant On performance of the traditional incandescent lamps. Put them in your home and you'll immediately notice the difference."

The Finally bulbs will soon be available in 60, 75 and 100 Watt replacements. The Finally 60 Watt Replacement light bulb is available now for pre-order and is expected to be offered at retail outlets in July 2014.

The Finally 75 Watt and 100 Watt Replacements are expected to be available for pre-order in the autumn.
