New World Lamp comes in white

Now New World Lamp come in color white

http://easyledlighting.com/World_lamp.html

It's a lot more than just color change, the lamp shell is better constructed with thicker (4mm vs 2.5mm) Coroplast , hence stronger lamp body.

The lamp shell is better designed, only requires 4 plastic latching screws. The rest of lamp body is self locking. It's easier to integrate LED modules and driver with lamp right now.

Other than Lamp body change, the light emitting unit remains the same. Still using same reliable LED modules and driver, output 32Watt, 2500 lumen of daylight white, the same light output as before.
This world lamp is being sold at easyledlighting.com for only $49.

A peek review with our next generation World Lamp

We are making our next generation World Lamp shell. What shows in this photo is a prototype of 2.5mm coroplast, the real deal will be made with 4mm coroplast, which is much stronger than existing lamp shell.
We moved its opening to top of lamp, and use tab insert instead of snap lock to latch the cover pan.
Everything else remain the same, you still get a nice 30 watt LED core to shine through exactly the same dual lamp windows. The only thing that's going to change is color. Which color should we pick?

New Packaging of World Lamp

Our World Lamps have been our best selling item, but it had been always packed in 4 lamps package. The long box packs 4 lamp shells, and 4 smaller boxes hold one light unit each. Then the whole package is shrink wrapped in thick plastic cover to be water repelled. This is nice but anyone buys World lamp have to get 4; no change. Package come in just 8 lbs.

 Recently we found USPS provides this 37" triangle shipping tube for free if you ship priority. So we decided that would help our business to provide some flexibility. We split the box of 4 lamps into two priority shipping tubes, and our customer now can order 2 lamps at almost half of price of 4 lamp pack.
The 2 lamp pack come in under 4 lbs.

LED Lamp can be even more pretty

I met this artist Holly Peters, she has a thing about making things more beautiful. By looking at photo at our Kickstarter project, she had few ideas about making our lamp more pretty from a already distinctive looking lamp  such as:

So we met and I gave her a set of our World Lamp. This is the result of her work.

She did some paper carving and painting and put those small decorative item on the lamp shell, and that look nice.

But wait, that's not all. Wait till we turn on the light:

The aquarium scene of Under the Sea is more attractive with our blue lamp shell, nice.

How about your own design? For sure you can come out something is even more nicer.

Should lamp weight a lot? (Earthquake safety)

Last week LA was hit by a magnitude 5.1 earthquake, we were just glade no one was killed or serious injured, then this week Chile was shook by a magnitude 8.2 earthquake. Thanks to strict building code, only few were killed in this earthquake despite its super strength.

I remember watching a video of simulated earthquake, everything was shacking, especial the hanging shop light style lamp in the middle of room. It started moving back and forth, suddenly one chain that leash one side of lamp broke, and the lamp just swam though the room, like a knife hang by its end, then fall on floor, smash into piece. Of course, that was a fluorescent shop light with glass tubes. With the power of simulated earthquake keep increasing, eventually cabinet, bookshelf all fall, making bigger mess; but I remember the lamp fixture was first one that broke out of control.

Why? a typical 4' long T8 fluorescent shop light weights nearly 10lbs, and they are hang high by two thin chains which give it waggle room to work on the damage. And after it fall, shattered glass can further do more damages.

Look at the traditional shop light design, sheet metal lamp shell, metal box ballast, long glass tubes, sounds like a trouble prone combination. and no wonder it has to weight so much. Do we really have to have all that to make light?
Here is our answer to that. Our World Lamp LED shop light is a 36" long shop light that illuminate as good as a 4 feet long two T8 fluorescent tube. Yet our lamp only weights 1 lb 10 oz. It can be hang by two small nails or thin chain/wires.

Illustration: World Lamp shop light hang by two thin metal wires

 And the lamp is made by safe material; it doesn't contain glass, mercury or any other dangerous material. Even when it does fall from high space, it wouldn't do much harm.
This is a nice lamp, low cost as lower than $50 per lamp. The price near a traditional fluorescent shop light , but it's LED light source, use about half of energy and will last much longer.

World Lamp safety

How safe is World Lamp? When you put together the lamp shell, have you ever wonder this question? It's obvious that this lamp shell is not water tight, what if the fire alarm sounds and fire sprinkler starts? To see this video for yourself. Although this video may look funny, but make sure you don't do that at home. And this lamp is not designed for weather, so don't use it at outdoor.

As far as fire safety, all our lamps are running cool, much better than other brand of LED lamps, I can even touch it after it is turn on for a long time. Human skin can withstand about 60C or  140F. The fact I can hold my finger on the metal bracket says it's temperature is still below that.

   

Will LED bulb pay for itself?

When we talk about something saves, a common phrase we would often use is: "It will pay for itself.", Can we use the same phrase on LED bulbs? Let's start with the math.

 A 60 watt equivalent LED bulb right now retails for $12.75 and uses about 10W of power.

A common competitor 60 watt equivalent CFL bulb cost much than that (often less than $1 when with rebate) and use about 14W of power.

If we run one light bulb 6 hours a day, for 8 years it would have run for 17520 hours.

 

10 Watt LED bulb would consume totally 175.2 kw-hrs, which cost $29.78

14 watt CFL bulb would consume totally 245.28 kw-hrs, which cost $41.7

            (based on 17 cents per kw-hrs PG&E average residential rate)

The $12 difference in electricity cost would just pay for the LED bulb; but it took 8 years.
Of course, if that light bulb is light up 24/7, it would be faster, but still needs 2 years,

The real energy saving of using LED light is from its directionallight source characteristic when with right application ... 

Eg.  Our world Lamp 30 Watt LED shoplight (uses 32watt power) has light intensity compare to traditional shoplight with two 4' T8 tubes, that's roughly 64 Watt power usage.   Click here to see our shoplight compare to LED bulbs.

For the same case of 8 years.

Traditional shoplight would use 1121.3 kw-hr, that's $190.6 electricity bill

World Lamp LED shoplight would use 560.6 kw-hr, that's $95.3 in electricity bill, 

The cost saving is more than two World Lamps ....

All about Environment . . . World Lamp

All about Environments...

World Lamp is a truly environmental friendly LED shop light. It has light output compare to traditional shop light which uses two 4 feet fluorescent tubes; but only uses about half of energy and weights a lot less.

Why I mention weighting less as an important factor of environmental friendly? While all type of LED lamps use about the same amount of energy to operate, other LED lamps weights a lot more than our lamp, they are even heavier than most of fluorescent lamps. The reason being is LED chips are more heat sensitive compare to other light sources. LED lighting design needs to take heat dissipation into special consideration, they typically use more metal in either metal core PCB or metal heat sink to help dissipate heat. That means more mining, forging and transportation would occurred... all those carries some environmental impact. Our patented technology allows us to use least amount of metal as possible. We use it at where it matters the most, directly under the belly of LED chips. And the same piece of metal also serves the purpose of mounting bracket (for chain or nail/screw to attach).
Other than advanced LED technology, World Lamp body is constructed with light weight recyclable material. And it’s fold-able during shipping and storage, that reduces shipping and storage cost.

No wonder Inhabitat mentioned us.  (Our 1st generation World Lamp)

It's about Practical too...
Can technologies save this world from global warming? I don't have the answer. But I do know if people don't adapt to new technology, then technology alone is just useless.
LED is a great light source, however most LED products are expensive compare to fluorescent light. Today a decent LED shop light would cost few hundred dollars; yet energy usage cut back from already pretty efficient fluorescent lamp  is just minimum, it would need years of usage to compensate the high initial cost of LED fixture, that leads to slow adaptation rate.

So how can World Lamp help? World lamp is proposing a low cost LED lamp design for the widest use around the world. Only when more people can afford it, then more would adapt to this energy efficiency lighting.  For achieving this purpose, It should not cost much higher than fluorescent products, so people would have very little excuse to continue using those mercury contained products.
And we also would like to support a popular product. Shop light is one of most widely used lamp in US and many places in the world. Currently most stores/warehouse in American still use fluorescent tube shop lights. and in almost every store, you can always spot several dark tubes awaiting for repair or replacement.

Our Shop light design is so simple that its shell is made with 1 piece of recycled material board, and it can be put together on the spot in less than a minute. It is an ideal convenient/utility lighting product.

We will come out more colorful lamp shell choices for different tastes soon.

World Lamp LED shop light vs. LED Bulbs

Here is the set up of this comparison: On the left side, there are 4 Cree LED bulbs, each runs 9.5W and cost $12.75. Totally 4 bulbs use 38 watt and cost $50, they are fixed on a board and hang from a horizon pole; on the other side hangs our 30watt World lamp LED shop light ($50 each) at the same height. Right in the middle, I have a vertical board set up to reduce interference between these two.


The result can be seen in this photo as well as on a Lux meter.

As you can see, the 4 bulbs emit light to all direction vs. LED shop light puts most of light at down below. in the end, the Lux meter recorded 406 lux from less powered LED shop light; and the 4 Cree LED bulbs side only recorded 308 lux. It would probably need 22 watt in shop light to get same brightness as LED bulbs with 38Watt.
