For example, when a hypermarket is equipped with 150 E40 bulbs with an electric power of 400 Watts, its annual electricity consumption is about 150 MWh. In addition, incandescent lamps have a relatively fragile glass bulb and their filament lasts about 12,000 hours. The breakage and the relatively short lifespan necessitates relatively frequent lamp changes, which results in heavy maintenance costs to support for communities or businesses.
- LED lamps For several years, for home lighting, incandescent lamps have been replaced by low-power fluorescent lamps and then by LED lamps (commonly called LEDs). These different lamps have resulted in significant energy savings.
- a lamp comprising a base of the E40 type and electroluminescent diodes placed on a support and connected to the base by an electrically conductive circuit.
- the support and the light-emitting diodes are housed in a sealed enclosure formed at least partially by a light bulb.
- the support of the light-emitting diodes comprises a tubular radiator at the ends of which are provided with ventilation apertures allowing a circulation of outside air in the radiator.
- the ampoule is made of a transparent or translucent synthetic material and is partially filled with a liquid, transparent or translucent, in which the light-emitting diodes are immersed.

- the speed of rotation of the fans, the dimensioning and the shape of the blades will be determined depending on the amount of air to be circulated in the radiator 5 to remove the heat produced but will also be taken into account the noise generated by the operation of the fan so as to maintain the noise in question at a level low enough not to cause inconvenience to pedestrians who would circulate under a lamppost equipped with a lamp according to the invention.
- the ventilation devices may be continuous operation or not. Their operation, if it is not continuous, can be triggered when a certain temperature is reached.
- the lamp is for this purpose provided with a thermal probe connected to a control circuit arranged to control the startup of the motor of the fans according to the temperature.
