Lights from plastic

The Wake Forest University team in the US has successfully developed a new type of glow lamp that can replace fluorescent lamps.

This lamp is developed based on polymer photovoltaic technology, emits soft light, white color, but does not flash yellow like filling fluorescent or bluish tinting from LEDs.

The head of the research team, David Carroll, said the new lamp could overcome many of the flaws of fluorescent lamps such as eye strain and a buzzing noise to the user. In addition, the use of a matrix-designed nano-polymer polymer wire to transfer electric energy is charged to light will overcome difficulties in using lights in high-rise buildings.

Lights from polymer for soft white light like daytime.

The blend of polymer with a small amount of nanomaterials is designed into three white layers that help the lamp to emit completely white light similar to sunlight very well with human vision. Not only that, it can also change color and transform according to users' requirements. This light device has 2 times better performance than compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL) and is equivalent to LEDs. It is very durable and does not contaminate indoor air such as CFL bulbs or emits light blue like LEDs.

Researchers are now working with a company that plans to launch products to consumers to consumers early next year.
