MyLight

Inspiration

Despite the technological advances and huge cost drops of efficient lighting option, people hang on to incandescents. That's because fluorescents and LEDs still carry the stigma of having cold and unpleasant light. Moreover, buying light bulbs is a huge hassle and finding the right bulb is a daunting task – even for energy specialists.

How it works

1. Change light temperature and brightness in a 3-D room and pick what you like.
2. MyLight recommends which light bulbs to buy (based on lifetime savings, energy cost per year, price, and CO2 emission savings).
3. You buy the bulb and start saving!
