What is the E-Bulb?
The E-Bulb is a Circuit Interrupter with Fire Extinguishing Agent (CIFEA, UL 60692), which can detect fire, extinguish it and permanently interrupt the power supply. Its smallest version is just 2 cm tall, and can even be hidden behind a 1-Euro coin.
Around one in three fires is caused by electricity, many of them in electrical appliances. The new, innovative E-Bulb can be installed by manufacturers directly in the electronics, where it protects from damage 24/7, even in standby mode. Comparable to the aqua-stop leak protection in washing machines, the E-Bulb is part of the fire-stop system for electrical appliances.

The E-Bulb is a CIFEA (UL 60692) and a UL recognized component
Based on sprinkler glass technology that has been proven a billion times over, the E-Bulb was developed and consists of a coated glass ampoule filled with non-toxic extinguishing agent. For its important contribution to preventive fire protection, the E-Bulb was named the winner and thus the best innovative development at the 2020 UK Safety Innovation Awards.

Every electrical appliance is a potential fire hazard and we have many of them in our household.
62 % of all families are afraid that one of their electrical appliances will start a fire at home.
Over 80% of the population would prefer an electric appliance with an automatic mini fire extinguisher to one without.

How the E-Bulb prevents major fire damage
Our vision is to prevent large fires in the household with our invention. If the fire is nipped in the bud directly at the source of the fire, worse things can be prevented. This way, the fire department doesn't even have to get involved, but see for yourself:

Medical Technology
Statistically, a fire breaks out in a German hospital every week, and electrical devices are often the source of these fires. In recent months, the need for ventilators has increased worldwide, due to the coronavirus pandemic. Tragically, several patients died in St. Petersburg and Moscow in May 2020 due to fires caused by respiratory equipment. Device-integrated fire protection can be installed in the majority of medical devices at limited cost. The world's smallest fire extinguishers, known as E-Bulbs, are often a good choice. Increasingly, medical technology companies are opting for device-integrated fire protection to make their products even safer.
Home Appliances
Refrigerators, dishwashers, televisions ... most people have many electrical appliances at home, and not just since the smart-home trend emerged. However, since then the fire risk has increased, as most electrical devices now run permanently in standby mode, constantly drawing electricity, so they can be controlled remotely. Every electrical device which remains ‚on‘ is a potential fire hazard. Fortunately, the vast majority of electrical household appliances are safe, however the reasons why a fire can start are so varied, that a fire risk can never be completely ruled out. Knowing their home appliance has a built-in mini fire extinguisher to minimize the fire risk, allows many people to sleep a little sounder.

What makes the E-Bulb unique?
Key Benefits
Once installed in the device, the E-Bulb does not require regular maintenance. The extinguishing agent in the fire extinguishing fuse is absolutely non-toxic and in order to prevent re-ignition of the electrical fire, the power supply to the device is permanently disconnected.
