DESIGN NAME: Dahom CFL Candle
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Energy Saving Candle Lamp
INSPIRATION: To create an energy saving lamp that can replace the traditional incandescent candle, saving up to 65% of the energy used.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Dahom CFL Candle when used in the home behaves and looks exactly like the traditional incandescent candle but without the heat generated and the energy used. In fact, it saves at least 65% of the energy used. Generally a 7W Dahom CFL Candle can replace a 40W incandescent bulb, without compromising on its size.
And in order to achieve the frosted look and feel, instead of using acid to frost the glass, Dahom cleverly uses a patented silicon sleeve. This not only delivers the frosted look, it also makes the light output more even and environmentally friendly.
The silicon sleeve has an added function to ensuring safety. If the bulb ever happens to drop, the glass inside will not shatter. Making Dahom’s CFL Candle, probably the safest candle bulb in the world! Protecting your family and loved ones.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Most CFL in the market are usually spiral type or tubular type, making them extremely ugly to fit into a beautiful light fixture. Dahom CFL Candle achieves the real light bulb feel and users do not even see the compact fluorescent tubes inside due to the innovative patented silicone sleeve cover. This cover also delivers a more even light output and a much warmer light feel. Plus it makes Dahom CFL Candle probably the safest candle lightbulb in the world, as the glass will not shatter if ever it is broken.
CHALLENGE: To make this product look like a normal candle lamp, both in application and size. It also has to produce good even light plus it should be safe for the family to use.
