NEW YORK – Two leading makers of lighting products are showcasing LED bulbs that are bright enough to replace energy-guzzling 100-watt light bulbs set to disappear from stores in January.
Their demonstrations at the LightFair trade show in Philadelphia this week mean that brighter LED bulbs will likely go on sale next year, but after a government ban takes effect.
The new bulbs will also be expensive — about $50 each — so the development may not prevent consumers from hoarding traditional bulbs.
The technology in traditional "incandescent" bulbs is more than a century old. Such bulbs waste most of the electricity that feeds them, turning it into heat. The 100-watt bulb, in particular, produces so much heat that it's used in Hasbro's Easy-Bake Oven.

Of course they will cost $50.00 each because guess what...it's not about the environment its all about $$$$$$$$$ and control. Come on people don't fall for all of the green/environmental/earth day bs!
Another way for the government to tell us what we can do and what we can't. One step closer to living in a dictatorship.
Let me guess-made by General Electric.
