General Lamps - Incandescent

GE incandescent lamps trace their ancestry to the world´s first practical electric bulb, invented by Thomas Alva Edison, founder of General Electric Company, in 1879.

Incandescent

Incandescent lamps are the most familiar type of light source with countless applications. Available in all shapes and sizes, they offer particular qualities of light to suit specific applications.
In an incandescent lamp, light is generated by eating the filament to incandescence. The hotter the filament, the more efficient it is in converting electricity to light. However, when the filament operates hotter, its life is shortened so the design of each lamp is a balance between fficiency and life. This is why lamps of equal wattage may have different lumen ratings and different life ratings.
From March 2009 a new regulation has been adopted in all EU countries: inefficient non-directional lamps will be phased out gradually from the EU market starting in September 2009.
GE as member of ELC (European Lamp Companies Federation) is fully committed to this regulation and is working on developing new energy efficient products to save energy.
