"New efficiency standards will require manufacturers, by 2012, to produce bulbs that use less energy per unit of light produced - a requirement that can only be fulfilled by CFLs"

LED light bulbs?

LEDs currently are very expensive, although the price will naturally come down because they are going nuts with production. Right now, we only use LEDs extensively in hospitals for lighting, because they can produce a very specific yellow light that doesn’t disrupt a sleeping patient. They also generate a lot of heat at the junction where they attach to the circuit board, which is a major point of failure.
