Incandescent light bulbs be to shelved by 2012 in US

Jan 3rd 2008 11:59PM on Engadget

Good god people, read before you bitch and moan:

"But second to that, the simple light bulb will likely bring the biggest energy saving to consumers.

The law calls for the phaseout, beginning in 2012, of the inefficient incandescent bulb that has been in use since the days of Thomas Edison. By 2014 these bulbs "will be virtually obsolete," says Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., who wrote the lighting provision in the bill.

While the law will not dictate specific technology, the 100-watt bulb will have to be replaced, for example, by one that provides the same amount of light for 72 watts, with additional improvements required by 2020."

Halogen "Incandescent" bulbs already meet this requirement!
Wikipedia on Light Bulbs:
"Quality halogen incandescent lamps are closer to 9% efficiency, which will allow a 60 W bulb to provide nearly as much light as a non-halogen 100 W"

The eradication of the Edison bulb is a natural and needed evolution, be it legislated or not.

Guess they will get sued by Lycos as well....

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
