It was last week that the news that the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three Japanese researchers came in. The reason for the award is the invention of the blue LED. At the time of the presentation, the Nobel Prize selection committee sent compliments to the winners, such as "Incandescent light bulbs illuminate in the 20th century and LEDs illuminate in the 21st century." Certainly, the development of blue LEDs led to the birth of LEDs that glow white, and the practical application of LED bulbs used in many homes.

LED bulbs consume less power and don't get too hot, so I'm grateful. very convenient. However, when I look at the reddish filament through the glass of an incandescent light bulb, I feel relieved. That beauty is not available with today's LED bulbs. Many people still give up the benefits of LED bulbs and continue to use them in order to enjoy the atmosphere created by incandescent bulbs.

Such people may be convinced by the beautiful LED light bulb " Siphon" developed by Beat Sonic. It would have been the time when Edison, the inventor of incandescent light bulbs, lived by reproducing the shape and shining of filaments that were found in old types of incandescent light bulbs with LEDs and enclosing them in clear light bulb glass. The old-fashioned "light" has been revived with the latest technology.


We are particular about glass and try to dissipate the heat generated by the conversion of alternating current to direct current from the entire glass. As a result, we succeeded in eliminating the large metal heat dissipation part, which is the fate of existing LED light bulbs and obstructs the appearance, and realized the appearance of a nostalgic incandescent light bulb.

Unleashed from the design restrictions of the heat dissipation part, Siphon is a beautiful incandescent light bulb itself. Even those who are particular about lighting can deliver the low power consumption and long life that are the advantages of LEDs.


The lineup includes "Edison" (base: E26, suggested manufacturer's suggested retail price: 4,500 yen), which is reminiscent of the "Edison era", and "chandelier" (E17, 2,500 yen) as if a ball was held under the light. , Three types of "balls" (E26, 5,500 yen) shaped like soap bubbles.


Currently, we are pre-ordering the crowdfunding service " Makuake". Since it is crowdfunding, it also has the meaning of commercialization support, so if you apply here, it seems to be quite a bargain.
