Rick Friedman for the New York Times

We read an awesome article by Erik A. Taub last Friday in the New York Times.  Here is a link: Build a Better Bulb for a $10 Million Prize.

It’s pretty exciting stuff.

If you’re a lighting geek.

LED (light emitting diode) bulbs are in use all over the world.  They use very little electricity and last a ridiculously long time.   So long, you might have to account for them in your will.

At this point they are a niche product — trendy and expensive — but LEDs will continue to grow in popularity as the technology improves and the prices come down.  All of the leading manufacturers are devoting tons of money to research and development, prize or no prize.

At GreenPoma.com we feature a few  LEDs as well as loads of beautiful CFLs (yes such things exist) and high efficiency halogens that will help you reduce the size of your electric bill and your carbon footprint.  Click on the links to get a peek at our product pages.

And remember, we are always happy to help you choose  the best green bulbs for the 5 most frequently lit fixtures in your home.  Try our Bulb Finder, or shoot us an email.

Lighting geeks love to share.
