If cost is no object and all you care about is energy savings (you rich, selfless bastard you), then this light bulb should be your first consideration. The GeoBulb is an LED bulb that produces the same light as a 60-watt incandescent with just 7.5 watts — a power savings of almost 90 percent. The problem is, it costs $120, a price increase of about a gazillion percent over regular bulbs, and even more over these super-efficient ones we heard about a little while ago.
Interestingly, the cheaper bulbs are rated as lasting for 100,000 hours (unverified, I should say, unless they watched one constantly for 30 years) and these expensive ones for “only” 30,000 hours. So while three of the $3 bulbs will last you for life, it’ll cost you a grand or more to outfit yourself with these mega-efficient ones. But think of the energy savings!
It comes in three shades: warm, cool, and soft. I like soft.

This bulb is comparable to 60 wattsa costs $58
http://tinyurl.com/deb8sk So WHY would i pay more for one that costs over twice as much and uses 1.5 watts of energy more to produce the same amount of light??
Thanks, Matt. Your $58 60 watt replacement bulb is fantastic. Why would I pay $120 if I can pay $58. I’ve also bought from Eaglelight.com in the past and was very happy with their service and prices on other LED bulbs. Very fast shipping too. The best thing about Eaglelight was their 100% money back guarantee. I happened to have liked all the bulbs I ordered, but I appreciate that kind of customer service
very subtle, lainey
There are much more effective and cheaper LEDs at EarthLED.com. They even have a 100 watt equivalent that uses 13 watts of power and is blindingly bright.
