Flexible Fluorescent Bulbs

The D'light from H_design is Strong and Malleable

— December 15, 2011 — Eco
If you thought fluorescent lighting was immune to reinvention, then you clearly haven't seen the D'light. D'light is a new design from h_design that turns the dangerous and hazardous fluorescent light into one that is eco-friendly and flexible.

D'light is designed to replace existing fluorescent light bulbs of all shapes and sizes. The light has been designed to be flexible and can contract itself to one-fourth of its own size if needed. The D'light is made using heat temperature vulcanizing; this process makes the bulb tough and ensures that it won't break under slight pressure or in the event of a fall. H_design's bulb may not be the sexiest creation ever, but its simple design could go a long way in revolutionizing the world.
Trend Themes
1. Flexible Lighting - Incorporating flexibility into lighting design, by applying technology similar to the D'light bulb, creates opportunities for innovation in situations where rigid light fixtures are impractical or cannot be used.
2. Eco-friendly Lighting - Designing more eco-friendly lighting technologies, such as D'light bulbs, offers disruption opportunities in the lighting industry to reduce energy consumption, costs, and environmental impacts.
3. Durable Lighting - Creating durable lighting solutions with processes, including heat temperature vulcanizing like that used for the D'light bulb, provide innovation opportunities to increase product longevity and reduce waste in manufacturing and disposal.
Industry Implications
1. Lighting Industry - The D'light bulb and related flexible, eco-friendly, and durable lighting solutions have the potential to replace traditional lighting fixtures and transform the lighting industry.
2. Manufacturing Industry - Incorporating heat temperature vulcanizing and other similar processes into the manufacturing of lighting products creates opportunities for more durable and efficient manufacturing processes.
3. Environmental Industry - The emergence of eco-friendly lighting solutions, such as D'light bulbs, supports the growth of the environmental industry and creates innovation opportunities for the development of more sustainable products and services.
