The NanoLight LED light bulb are available in Black or White versions (Image: NanoLight)
The NanoLight has been extensively tested at two independent testing facilities in order to ensure brightness distribution, sufficient luminous output, and color temperature (Image: NanoLight)
The NanoLight operates at 133 lumens per watt - the above chart shows the company's own comparison to other light bulbs on the market (Image: NanoLight)
The alternative to a 100-watt incandescent bulb has until recently been a compact fluorescent light (Image: NanoLight)

The NanoLight LED’s are directly attached to a printed circuit board that is folded to resemble the stereotypical light bulb shape (Image: NanoLight)
NanoLight’s estimates show that over 30,000 hours of usage an LED bulb can save a consumer around seven times the expense of an equivalent periods usage of incandescent bulbs (Image: NanoLight)
The NanoLight team went through various prototype designs (Image: NanoLight)
The NanoLight has mercury-free construction for environmental friendliness (Image: NanoLight)
The power consumption has been verified using two independent professional grade power meters during the testing process (Image: NanoLight)
Electronic components are mounted onto the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) using mostly SMT (Surface Mount Technology) (Image: NanoLight)
The NanoLight comes in either 220V AC (Europe / Asia Pacific) or 120V AC (North America / Japan) to support all countries (Image: NanoLight)
The NanoLight has a standard E26/E27 base (Image: NanoLight)
The light output meets or exceeds 1600 lumens for the 12W version and 1200 lumens for the 10W version (Image: NanoLight)
Article Summary
Until recently LED light bulb manufacturers have struggled to find a solution in the 75 to 100-watt range which successfully replaces the soon-to-be redundant, energy crunching 100 W incandescent bulb in terms of size and brightness. Three friends from the University of Toronto are the latest to offer a feasible product to match the classic 100 W bulb without compromising on electricity consumption with their proposed NanoLight LED light bulbs.
