A fantasy? No. A Pharox.

The Pharox lightbulb.
Consumers around the world now have superior options for reducing their carbon footprint through the revolutionary technology of LED lighting. Lemnis Lighting, (www.lemnislighting.com) offers the Pharox bulb, newly available in the United States at Upscale Lighting (www.upscalelighting.com).

"The Pharox LED bulb is this year's must-have item for anyone going green. Even switching one bulb to a Pharox can help reduce your carbon footprint and create cost savings over CFL or traditional bulbs," said Frans Otten, chairman of Lemnis Lighting. "The Pharox bulb saves on energy cost over its lifespan to ultimately cost less than a traditional incandescent bulb."

The Lemnis Pharox bulb is the first LED-based light to offer the warm, soft white light quality comparable to that of a traditional 40W light bulb while using no mercury, so they are recyclable, unlike CFL bulbs. Additionally, on an annual basis the Pharox bulb emits 90 percent fewer emissions than a traditional incandescent bulb, and is compatible with standard fittings.

The Pharox bulb is as energy efficient as a fluorescent bulb, and over its significantly longer lifetime -- up to 50,000 hours or approximately 35 years -- it creates significantly lower carbon emissions.

Lighting uses 19 percent of worldwide energy consumption. Reducing energy consumption by using LEDs will significantly reduce the level of CO2 emissions, therefore impacting climate change. Lemnis seeks to diminish climate change through, among other efforts, use of technologically advanced LED lightbulbs.
