Philips Shows New York What LED Lighting Can Do for the Home

NEW YORK, Oct. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

              First Philips Lighting brought LED light bulbs to your home,
              and now they are bringing it to the New York City area 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!

              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/
