Philips Shows San Diego What LED Lighting Can Do for the Home

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

                First Philips Lighting brought LED light bulbs to your home,
                and now they are bringing it to San Diego with the Philips
                LED Light Experience, a fun, educational and free
                interactive mobile exhibit. The Philips LED Light
                Experience will provide hands-on exhibits for visitors to
                explore what LED light can do for their homes and see
    WHAT:       firsthand where science meets style - with light bulbs.

                Consumers can learn how LED bulbs are made, what makes them
                so different, as well as getting great tips on how to make
                their house brighter and "greener," with energy-saving,
                long-lasting white-light AmbientLED bulbs from Philips.
                They can also learn designer tips on how to use long-
                lasting AmbientLEDs to give the home a "lightover". One
                lucky fan could win the Philips Home Lightover Sweepstakes
                - a one-day consultation from a professional home designer
                plus $5,000 in cash towards the purchase of Philips
                AmbientLEDs for their own home 'lightover' by registering
                at http://www.ledlightover.com!

                Also, people who visit the tour stop can log-in to SCVNGR,
                a mobile game platform to take part in quick, fun
                challenges to win rewards, such as a SCVNGR badge, Philips
                LED keychain flashlight or a t-shirt.

                Consumers are eager to learn for themselves the benefits of
                LED lighting technology and the Philips LED Light
                Experience shows them firsthand the comparison - side-by-
                side - of the quality of the new, energy-efficient LEDs
                vs. standard incandescent bulbs. The interactive mobile
                exhibit provides an inside glimpse into the inner workings
                of the industry-changing Philips AmbientLED A19 bulb,
                which consumes just 12.5 watts - or 80 percent less energy
                - than the standard 60-watt incandescent bulbs they were
                designed to replace. The new Philips AmbientLED A19 will
                also last 25,000 hours, or 25 times longer than the
    WHY:        standard incandescent.

                This fall, the interactive mobile exhibit will make 24 tour
                stops in 10 U.S. cities at retailers, trade shows,
                festivals and other events. For a complete listing of dates
