Panasonic Intros New Lamp Automatically Adjusts Brightness

I guess everyone may have at least a few Panasonic home appliances at home. Well Panasonic just wants to bring you something a bit more natural to your house in addition to TV or air-conditioner, a home-use fluorescent lamp that automatically adjusts. It can detect the brightness of the area or ambient lighting up to three meters right below the lamp.

The brightness can be set at "100%," "70%" or "50%" by users. The speed of dimming and brightening was optimized so that users do not notice them. Also, it features a function to automatically correct the sensing range of the sensor when the light is initially installed because the degree of reflection varies depending on floor color.

"This is the industry's first home-use lighting equipment whose brightness is automatically adjusted by a sensor," Panasonic said.

Panasonic will bring this products with two models, the HHFZ4320 (89W) and the HHFZ4220 but no official price tag yet we can expect it to be ¥35,000 and ¥32,000 respectively.
