Theme: The use of Japanese manufacturer Toshiba Lighting Technology to develop LED lighting products that are mainly intended for outdoor applications, and to be held in Tokyo’s Ariake International Convention and Exhibition Center on March 4-7, 2008. ED Next Stage is on display. The new product is expected to have a market price of around 10,000 yen, which is more than five times the suggested retail price of the incandescent Beam Lamp sold by the company (1,890 yen).

With new developments, you can cut power consumption compared to incandescent lamps. For example, when driving with AC 100V, the company's original incandescent lamp costs 69W, while the newly developed product only needs 15W at the same brightness.

The power consumption of newly developed products has dropped to about 1/5 of that of incandescent lamps, and its lifetime is equivalent to about 2.5 times that of the company's incandescent Beam Lamp. This time, two products with color temperatures of approximately 3000K and 5000K were developed. The goal is to start production in 2008.
