Luxim's 250W Tic-Tac Sized Bulb Blows Away 400W LEDs

 

Luxim's new 250 watt can produce up to 140 lumens per watt Luxim

Luxim’s new bulb may only be the size of a Tic-Tac, but this little bugger can crank out way more light at 250 watts than a traditional 400 watt LED. It can achieve this feat thanks to gas that is heated inside the bulb via electrical energy delivered to it by a “puck.” As the gas turns to plasma, the bulb is illuminated. However, since most of the energy is not lost to heat, the light can reach a high level of brightness. In fact, it can produce up to 140 lumens per watt, which are twice that of an LED and around 10 times that of a standard bulb. Impressive.
