Two years ago - Phillops rocked the world with their LED lighting improvements see thread here: Philips' new LED light bulbs are brighter, more efficient, not cheap | Page 3 | PriusChat Now they've done it again - and there's been a winning of a boat load of prize money for their efforts. (I've already found 'em for a whole lot less on Amazon) http://www.molalla.net/members/leeper/L%20prize%20bulb.htm MAN ... if this keeps up - the grid may not fail for a few more years (although we just had a couple hours of power failure yesterday)
This looks very good. The problem with current 60-watt equiv Philips bulb is too dim when you want 75-watt equiv. The problem with current 75-watt equiv Philips bulb is too expensive and size of bulb is too tall so it sits taller in a lamp and that makes a lighting difference compared to a standard 75-watt bulb. So the new Philips bulb design gives more lumens but still in the standard bulb size. I get it! Just got $24 refund check back from Philips for my failed 60-watt equiv. bulb Are we saying implications here: maybe hold off on buying too many of the current Gen1, may be a Gen2 coming? Also Gen1 price may drop if there is competing Gen2.
