The lamps you're not allowed to have. Exploring the Dubai lamps

Post by Losbot »

These fascinating lamps are a result of a collaboration between Philips Lighting and Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum - the ruler of Dubai.
They are designed to be the most efficient available, matching high lumen output with very long life. Once you see the construction and circuitry you'll realise this isn't just marketing spin.

In return for the development Philips gained exclusive rights to manufacture the lamps for a fixed duration, extending from their announcement in 2016. Philips expect to have supplied 10 million of the lamps by the end of 2021.

I figured with all the extra elements they were going to be under driving it. LEDs have been like CPUs for the last 10 years... cram more of them in and bigger heat sinks.
