Phillips has a New Master LED Bulb

Philips’ Master LED bulb has the same form factor as the old-fashioned kind, making it “simple for people to use and feel good about using.” The bulb draws just 7 watts but gives off light equivalent to 40 watts’ worth, and lasts 45,000 hours, as opposed to the 1,500 of its incandescent predecessors. Already available in Europe, the Master LED should make its way to North American sometime before July.

I replaced all of the bulbs in my house with Compact fluorescent lamp(CFL) bulbs in my house. Took about 40 CFL’s, but they work great. They do take a little bit to warmup so they are at full intensity. These new lights are a little expensive at $50 a piece, but the price will probably come down when the manufacturing process kicks into high gear.

That is the coolest looking lightbulb I have ever seen :) Way to expensive though, I’ll wait until they are comporable to CFL bulbs.
