Philips Automotive North America, a division of Royal Philips, brings its new Philips LED Rough Service Bulb to automotive service applications.

The Philips LED Rough Service Bulb delivers an output of 800 lumens at a temperature of 3000K, still remaining cool. The new Philips bulb only needs 10.5 watts of power, which is a fraction of the consumption required by conventional Halogen and fluorescent lamps. Due to its advanced LED technology, the LED Rough Service Bulb is very efficient and durable. And it is designed with an “instant on” feature and delivers bright lighting to enhance any shop, garage, or work area.

This new light bulb is mercury-free and ideal for using in everyday work environments. It will hold up to the most demanding in-shop applications, and can be used in service lamps, inspection lamps, and automatic garage door lights. Unlike traditional light bulbs that can be broken if drop, the Philips LED Rough Service Bulb is very robust and shatter resistant. It is designed for long life and can last for more than 18 years.

According to Dennis Samfilippo, general manager, Philips Lighting Business Group Automotive, N.A., “The new Philips Rough Service Bulb is the latest edition to our growing portfolio of LED technology for mobile and work lighting. It shows the innovative line of high performance LED work lamps we launched this past year and delivers the same high level of quality, light output and reliability.”
