So does this mean that I will have to start cleaning my light bulbs when I clean my computer (Dusting the fan)?

Hi Michael, I have used CFL's for years. They helped me lower my power bill a lot over the price of regular bulbs. As a matter of fact I can light my entire house on a total of less than 75 watts. AWESOME! I can't wait to try the new LED bulbs out. I need to find someone in my area that actually carrys them. Then of course there is the price. I hope they start to drop a bit soon. No offense but $79 for a bulb is a bit pricy, does it come with a guarantee? Peace Bryan kc8hps_2003@yahoo.com

While this is a great comparison of existing technologies I feel it is a bit misleading. All he is comparing is power consumption. What he should be comparing is power consumption per lumen. The LEDs may only use half as much power, but they only put out half as much light. CFL's are so much brighter, so I'll stick with them for now. It is nice to see what else is being developed though.

Ahh, the marvels of modern technology! Are we going to see those, I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) LCD bulbs that are excited by a laser beam and shine for, how long, soon?

PS. Maybe a nuclear powered bulb that could not only supply any amount of brightness you could want, but could also put power back into the power grid as well. Food for thought but never will happen due to obvious dangers and abuse

My family owns a restaurant in illinois and we changed all of our bulbs to CFLs which is a good 200 light bulbs, were saving TONS of money don't have to rent a 30 foot ladder to change them anymore! Simply amazing

You're kind of a dork, huh?? A funny dork, that seems to know what he is talking about, though. I enjoyed your vid and learned something, so I guess you accomplished your goal. Thanks for the laughs and the info....
