Apollo of Gent, Belgium, 2008

This gas-discharge light source operates with 230 V mains voltage, has the same light capacity as an approximately 80W traditional light bulb. The compact light can be used by households, in exchange of any traditional light bulb in the same size socket. However it uses only a quarter of the capacity of the regular light sources, thus extremely energy efficient. Its lifetime is significantly longer than of former bulbs.

The bulb was discovered contaminated with fingerprints and dust. It works.
