New LED Bulb Combines Efficiency and Beauty
HONG KONG—A Hong Kong-based startup company has developed a visually appealing and energy-efficient lightbulb. Nanoleaf’s LED bulb resembles an origami project—its body is made of folded silicon instead of glass. According to the company, this design makes it extremely energy efficient. The bulb is designed to provide 87% energy savings compared to existing LED bulbs. It also is designed to produce 133 lumens per watt, almost double the efficiency of current 22-watt bulbs. The manufacturer says its increased energy efficiency also leads the bulb to produce less heat.
