Light of a New Age: U of T engineering grads create the 'most efficient light bulb in the world.'

摘要

It was some time ago that the big global electrical product companies saw the "lighting" on the wall. The need for a greener light bulb - one that's much more energy efficient and lasts a long time but is still economical and environmentally-friendly to produce - was clear. Experienced teams at these gigantic companies set to work, with huge budgets at their disposal. But a small, independent trio of engineers, all University of Toronto alumni, also took a stab at the problem - and have achieved astonishing levels of energy efficiency that surpass what anyone else has produced thus far. Meet Tom Rodinger, Gimmy Chu and Christian Yan, creators of the Nanoleaf light bulb, an LED lightbulb that its creators say is as bright as conventional bulbs but lasts much longer.
