The new range of products being launched by Philips in New Zealand includes the Philips AmbientLED Clear Sparkle, AmbientLED Focused Beam, and 5W and 7W VisionLED Globes. The new range led high bay light bulbs will be available in DIY stores and selected supermarkets with prices ranging from $24.95 to $49.95.

“While the initial cost for purchasing LED light bulbs is currently more expensive than for their incandescent equivalents, choosing a cheap, inefficient light bulb may be a false economy. Because an LED light bulb lasts up to 25 times as long as an incandescent bulb, and uses only one fifth of the energy, not only do you save on replacement costs, but you also save on your power bill throughout the LED’s life,” says Mr Procter.

The Philips AmbientLED Clear Sparkle is designed to be seen, and has a sparkling effect, making it ideal for chandeliers. This candle-shaped bulb provides comfortable warm white light and is dimmable with compatible dimming systems. With a power consumption of only 3W, the light bulb emits light output similar to a standard 15W incandescent bulb.
