In response to "$3 LED bulbs in 2 years? -- (link)" by Reagen

I heard a rumor that GE is about to unveil a new incandescent bulb that beats the CFCs on energy use and of course quality of light.

And is, naturally, mercury-free.

But haven't incandescents been banned? -- nm - Mop Jan 29, 16:54
CFLs, you mean. CFCs is something else. - Reagen Jan 29, 16:44 3
- You're right, CFL. All I heard about the quality was 'warmer'. - Dr.Vermin Jan 29, 16:47 2
  - As soon as I saw the story about LEDs this morning, my reaction was one of those apoplectic "OMG THEY'LL BE *EVERYWHERE*" ones :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 29, 16:49
  - There are bulbs out there now, but they're at like 1-3 year payback periods, which is a bit steep at the moment. -- nm - Reagen Jan 29, 16:49
