Panasonic wants to do its bit for the environment by releasing a home-use fluorescent lamp which is able to adjusts its light levels automatically according to the room’s luminance. This will definitely go a long way in lowering energy costs, and at least it maintains a certain level of brightness for your eyes if you happen to do a lot of reading. Known as the Auto-eco Light-control Twin Pa, it features a luminance sensor that is able to detects the brightness in an area of 3m diameter directly below the lamp (assuming your ceiling height is approximately 2.4m), controlling the light output. Panasonic will release the Auto-eco Light-control Twin Pa sometime later this year in HHFZ4320 (89W) and HHFZ4220 (74W) models that will retail for approximately $389 and $357, respectively.
