Japan's first! A light that does not go out even if there is a power outage “Itsudemo Lamp tsuita” will be on sale at “Makuake” from 10:00 on Wednesday, December 22nd

Of the large earthquakes of M6 or greater that occur around the world, 22.9%*1, or about a quarter, occur in Japan.

In the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake and the Great East Japan Earthquake, not only the damage of the earthquake but also the damage of the fire was enormous. It is said that 60%*2 of the fires caused by the earthquake were electrical fires caused by turning on electrical appliances that were overturned or damaged when electricity was restored.

As a countermeasure, the government has set a specific goal of "spreading seismic breakers in 25% of densely populated areas by 2024" in the "National Resilience Plan".

A seismic breaker is a device that detects an earthquake with a seismic intensity of 5 upper or more and automatically turns off the breaker to prevent electrical fires. While it is possible to avoid the risk of electrical fires, there are also voices saying, ``When an earthquake occurs at night and the electricity is cut off, the lights will go out and it will be pitch black, increasing the risk.'' There is a status quo.

In response to the increasing possibility of an earthquake directly hitting the Tokyo metropolitan area, the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce and Industry announced in the "Request for Tokyo Metropolitan Government Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Measures (October 2020)" The need is clearly stated, and we believe that the existence of "Itsudemo Lamp tsuita" is indispensable for the spread of seismic breakers.

We believe that “Anytime Lamp Tsuita” will help promote the spread of seismic breakers and help the “National Resilience Plan”.

Even if the breaker automatically trips during an earthquake, it will be possible to turn on the light in the room by combining it with "Anytime Lamp Tsuita". It is possible to compensate for the point that the lighting disappears, which is the drawback of the seismic breaker.

Comparing the brightness numerically, it seems that there is a large difference between 850 lm AC during normal operation and 300 lm DC during power failure, but I do not feel a big difference in brightness.

“Anytime lamp tsuita” at power outage

"Itsudemo Lamp tsuita" is equipped with a battery inside, and it will be charged automatically just by using it as a regular light. In the event of a power outage, the lights will continue to illuminate for up to 6 hours. In the event of a power outage, when it is difficult to see how long it will take to restore power, this will give you peace of mind. It looks like a normal light bulb, but it has a battery inside and is always fully charged just by using it as a regular light. Even if there is a power outage, the electricity will not go out, so it is safe, but you can also use it as a simple flashlight in case you need to evacuate because you can turn it on just by removing the bulb and holding it with your hand. can. [Body specifications] [Precautions for use] This product can be used with the most popular E26 socket. Cannot be used with remote-controlled lighting fixtures (due to the mechanism that switches depending on whether or not the power is turned on), and may not be used with other light bulbs.

It was an opportunity to reaffirm that “we cannot live without safety” due to the corona crisis.

Therefore, our company, whose management philosophy is "Health and the environment. Contributing to society through the creation and spread of comfortable lifestyles that take energy conservation into account," asks, "Is there anything we can do for people's safety?" I thought.

One of the answers is "development to prevent electrical fires". According to the government's trial calculation, when a major earthquake occurs, multiple fires will occur simultaneously, and it is assumed that it will cause enormous damage. It is said that 60% of fires are caused by electrical fires.

For example, an electric heater has a safety device that automatically turns off when it falls over, but in an earthquake with a seismic intensity level of 7, books, clothes, laundry, etc. will fall from above and cover it, and it will be covered in a blink of an eye. fire will spread. In order to prevent such a situation, we created a device that automatically cuts off the power when a large tremor is felt. However, during the development of a mechanism to turn off electricity, a new issue arose: "If an earthquake were to occur at night, the houses would be pitch black during the shaking, which would be a problem for the affected people." In fact, the earthquake with a seismic intensity of lower 5 that hit Saitama, Tokyo on October 7, 2021 also occurred at night.

Therefore, we have developed a lighting fixture, "Itsudemo Lamp tsuita," which can ensure brightness with an internal battery even if it senses its own shaking and trips the breaker.

We will continue to contribute to society through the creation and popularization of people's comfortable lives.
