Philips Shows San Francisco What LED Lighting can do for the Home
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
First Philips Lighting brought LED light bulbs to your home, and
now they are bringing it to San Francisco 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 firsthand where science meets style - with light
WHAT: 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 and locations, visit http://apps.facebook.com/LEDRoadshow.
