This is what I am waiting for, Nanotech stuff.
That bigger picture soon will be clearer: PolyBrite plans to begin shipping
white LED bulbs to light up homes, offices, street lamps, theaters, hotels,
you name it. Scianna said the LED bulbs are far more energy efficient than
traditional incandescent bulbs and even beat the compact fluorescent bulbs
now being touted by Commonwealth Edison.
Scianna, 54, said PolyBrite has developed the first screw-in, white-light
bulbs in the typical sizes used in the home, such as the equivalent to 65-
and 75-watt bulbs, each using 90 percent less energy than traditional
lighting. He said PolyBrite will ship the bulbs in the next 60 days for the
office market, and for the home market within the next year.

When I bought my house I replaced all of them with CF... so I don't
have a $$ savings comparison, but I think I've only had one or two

What brand do you buy? I have a few (flood-light style) that have
lasted for a while but typically they don't make it even a year for
me. Last batch I tried before I gave up on them was a six-pack of GE
branded bulbs bought at Sams.
Another I don't really like is they take a few minutes to reach full
brightness -- turning on my kitchen lights, which are still mostly CF
floods in recessed ceiling cans I get a very low illumination
initially. Definitely NOT ideal for areas where you need lights for
only a few minutes at a time, such as a bathroom.
