Light with Heavy Responsibilities
Think of the Filo bulb as our modern day USB. The USB port as we know today can do amazing things apart from data transfer. One USB port can charge your phone, power a keyboard, harness Wi-Fi, connect and power audio equipment, and even do crazy things like run this USB fridge. One port powering gadgets of multiple natures is the old idea. However the innovative bit with the Filo is that it uses this to solve a problem with today’s tech. Planned Obsolescence. While good lights usually last 10000 to 12000 hours, our gadgets aren’t programmed to. They break, or get updated very rapidly, resulting in us throwing the entire product away just to buy the ‘new version’.
