Sharp Corporation is following up its LED lamps with another mainstay of residential lighting by introducing six models of industry-first*1 LED ceiling lights into the Japanese market.
Using Sharp’s proprietary light diffusion technology, these ceiling lights achieve a thin design that is 43 mm at the thickest part and just 8 mm at the thinnest.
Three of the models, the DL-C501V/C301V/C302V, allow the use of a remote controller to change the color of the white light with the Adjustable Color function, and to adjust brightness with the Dimmer function. These functions combine to offer 110 different levels of color and brightness that match the mood or time of day. These lights also have three eco-functions that reduce energy consumption by up to 65%*2. The Eco Light Rhythm function, for example, is a proprietary lighting program that automatically adjusts the color and brightness throughout the day; for instance, it matches the lifestyle rhythms of the user by giving crisp, cool daylight white for a refreshing wake-up in the morning, or a warm white in the evening when a relaxing atmosphere is desired.
By bringing energy savings and greater comfort to the home, Sharp will advance its vision of becoming an Eco-Positive Company*3.

Sharp’s corporate vision: An Eco-Positive Company works with all stakeholders in creating solutions that have significantly more positive impact on the environment than negative impact caused by company operations. “Eco-Positive” does not mean that a company has no negative impact on the environment. Rather, “Eco-Positive Company” is a phrase Sharp uses to indicate the ideal state of a company in terms of environmentalism; it is the state Sharp aims to achieve. |
