Matsushita has released a water-, heat-, and dust-resistant lighting device for use in mechanical equipment, ensuring that no matter the harsh condition, at the very least you won't run out of light. Power consumption has been reduced by as much as 33% compared to existing 20W fluorescent lamps. This new tough LED light has a product life of 40,000 hours - that's a whole lot considering existing products are able to last no more than six times less that amount before giving up the ghost. Such lighting solutions won't be cheap though, as they are priced from $241 upwards until $420.
