It’s finally here: Philips clear LED bulb, the world’s first LED bulb with innovative
lens and the beautiful light in the shape of the traditional incandescent.

Frankfurt, Germany – The traditional incandescent light bulb has been given the 
biggest shake-up in over 100 years, thanks to Royal Philips, the global leader in
lighting. The new Philips’ clear 40 Watt equivalent LED bulb brings back the shape
and instant bright, warm light of a traditional light bulb – made better with LED.
A world’s first innovative lens delivers light in all directions. With its traditional
shape and quality light, the bulb is ideal for the living room and all other places
where light matters.

**The clear classic goes LED**
 So therefore as traditional incandescent bulbs continue
to be phased out – and with many reluctant to let it go – the Philips’ clear LED
bulb finally lets people hold onto the light they love. It comes with all the benefits
of modern LED. With Philips’ clear LED, the classic light bulb keeps its original
beauty making it a perfect replacement for the standard 40W (A60 shape) bulb. The
result is a light bulb significantly saving energy and costs lasts up to 25.000 
hours. All while maintaining the elegant shape and sparkling light that is known
and loved. Finally, the high quality light, with 470 lumens output. Thereby staying
as clear and bright as a 40W bulb, even when it is dimmed.

In addition, Philips also announced Hue lux. Most interestingly, it’s the first 
smart white light LED bulb with perfect dimming controlled from the app on your 
mobile. Hue lux gives great quality light for everyday use using sustainable LED.
Also it’s compatible with Hue apps and controls. The bright, warm light can be controlled
from the convenience of your smart device – even when you’re away from home.

#### Finally, the clear LED 40W replacement bulb is available.
