Buckingham Palace’s flame-tip bulbs contain a
bouquet of LEDs
 Yesterday’s
post noted the 50,000+ hour lifetime of LEDs that makes them so attractive
for room lighting applications and here’s an unusual example: LEDtronics
says that it retrofitted chandeliers at Buckingham Palace with LEDs packaged
in flame-tip bulbs.
Buckingham Palace LED chandelierThe
aim of the chandelier retro-fitting is to reduce power-consumption
and maintenance
costs: The next “re-lamping” isn’t
scheduled until 2020.
Below is a close up of a flame-tip LED similar
to the type used in the royal retrofit. It looks like there’s
a cluster of about 20 or so LEDs, probably sitting atop ac-dc conversion/lame-tip
LED bulbregulation
circuitry.
