Iwasaki electric and Teijin have jointly developed world’s first all plastic LED lamp that uses a high thermal conductivity resin, which is made by combining Teijin’s RAHEAMA high thermal conductivity carbon material and polycarbonate resin for making the housing of the lamp instead of aluminum. The new LED lamp which is commercially named “EYELAMP” will be sold under Iwasaki electric by the end of 2010. Well, the all-plastic is really the housing of the Lamp and it does not include the bayonet cap. The new lamp which weighs only 300 grams, offers one tenth of the power consumption of a conventional mercury-vapor lamp, with brighter illumination, lasting for 40,000 hours, roughly seven times than conventional lamp. The new product comes in a warm-colored 3,000 (Ra80) model as well as white 6,500k (Ra70) one.
