What a bright idea? Sorry I could help it. Today’s Eco friendly gadget is the recently launched energy efficient light called the “Auto-eco Light-control Twin Pa”. To the naked eye it looks like any other round ceiling light, however on closer inspection this light comes with built in sensors controlled by a microprocessor that can alter the lights luminance.
The advantage this has over conventional home lighting is that it can help reduce energy costs by reducing the amount of light when there is no need for it. Claims by the company of up to 60% less power is need which is a considerable saving when placed in multiple locations.
There are three brightness settings to the light, i.e. 100%, 70%” or 50%. When the light is switched on the settings the user has selected is monitored by the sensor every second and the light emitted from the bulb is maintained by regularly dimming or brightening which goes unnoticed by the user.
There are two models of the lamps, the “HHFZ4320″ (89W) and the “HHFZ4220″ (74W) which is expected to be priced at $387 and $354 respectively.
