Toshiba-one of the famous names in home-use lighting equipment industry has released two nouveau LED lights for commercial purposes. These are shaped like midget reflector and beam lamps. These were designed in a manner that they can be easily used with current sockets used for existing lights in your house (because these lights have the E26 base).

The 2 light sources which come in two types/models use Nichia Corp’s LED. While one is incandescent and the other is of white variety. The bulbs are specially designed for signboards, shops & other facilities. The 2 lamps are: midget reflector lamp and beam lamp-shaped LED light.

Midget reflector lamp:-
• Equipped with five LEDs
• Has a power of a 60W incandescent bulb
• Consumes only 5.3W electricity
• Luminance is 50lm/W (incandescent type) and 68lm/W (white type)
Beam lamp-shaped LED lamp:-
• Equipped with eight LEDs
• Equivalent to a 75-100W incandescent bulb
• Consumes mere 9W electricity!
• Luminance is 66lm/W (white type) and 48lm/W (incandescent type).
Both the lamps have a lifespan of 20,000 hours and the price tag for both is between $100- $140. All I can say is it’s a cheap price for super-efficient lights!
