The latest line up

At this point, my home has become a bit of a testing lab for LED lightbulbs and the experiment has gone well. Pictured here are some of the more recent bulbs to come to market, including the Philips 17-watt A21 LED light on the front right, which is a 75-watt equivalent priced at $39.97 at Home Depot. On the front left is Lighting Sciences Group 60-watt equivalent which uses 13 watts and costs $34.97. LED bulbs qualify for utility-sponsored rebates in some states.

At the back left is the Philips 12-watt A21 LED Light, which gives off as much light as a 60-watt incandescent and at the back right, a 40-watt equivalent bulb from Pixi Lighting.
