Lighting future: sneak peek of prototype GE incandescent-shaped CFL

WTF what is up with the pussies here complaining about technology that actually helps reduce overall energy use for the world? "it's about my right to waste and be a consuming pig".... boo hoo assholes. And yeah... I never heard anyone complaining about putting mercury thermometers in their mouths with enough mercury to kill them easily. I think you would have to lick the insides of a ton of these bulbs to be really harmed. And in terms of light temp.-- for good cfl bulbs there is no difference.

I have been looking for these at several stores and online. I want to order some but can't find them. These would be great for lights that you can see, like the ones in a fan/light fixture. Who wants to see that crummy spiral thingie? I am still waiting to find these, but the artical says ACE hardware, will look tomorrow.

in 1820 a man named fredrick osloft one day he was working in his lab until a ghost came by and killed him the next morning fredrick was nowhere to be seen 100 years later two boys went in the lab as a dare the boys where never seen again where aparently murdered now that u have read this comment tonight when u go to sleep the two boys and fredrick will come and murder you but you can stop this by posting this comment on 5 other videos by midnigh ihate this things srry :P

Yeah $.94 for the junk bulbs the "decent" CFL's don't qualify for the rebates or are outragously priced. I have already horeded a pretty decent stash of the good incandescent bulbs. One can only hope that the market will push out these CFL's.

"Green" is just a marketing term.

These CFL's are the shittiest bulbs ever, the dimmable ones are not really dimable and they start flashing if dimmed too far. Plus the light is so crappy your skin looks like you have jaundice. God damn government mandating this shitty technology.

It's not about using CFL bulbs to save energy and the environment. It's about having the Federal Government to regulates how much energy we can use, and how much water we can flush. This is all bunch of liberalism.

whole thing inside glass......probably safer and less risk of fire hazard due to failed ballast getting hot!

Hey dude, thanks.

Pretty informative.
