[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 1258423, member: 12952"] Larry Birnbaum, owner of the Light Bulb Store in South [URL='http://www.northjersey.com/hackensack']Hackensack[/URL], thinks he has a bright idea for them. He developed the Newcandescent bulb, an incandescent bulb that meets new federal standards for so-called "rough" use (like in a moving car or truck) but that he wants to sell for everyday use. He hopes to start selling the new bulbs in January. They will go for about $1.65 each, compared with about 60 cents for current incandescents and about $2.25 to $3.50 for compact fluorescents that give the equivalent of 100 watts of light. Birnbaum made a few changes to the typical "rough-use" incandescent to meet new federal standards, including using krypton gas to make it last 10 times longer. But he acknowledged that they're not as energy-efficient as LEDs and compact fluorescents. [/QUOTE]
