13Watt Light Bulbs & Awesome Prank

The most interesting post thus far on my blog follows:

I bought a 4 pack of those 13W light bulbs that last for 7 years, and AMAZINGLY, they work. Who would have thought that? I like them... provided they are doing what they claim, which is consuming a little less than 25% of the energy regular bulbs do. They are cheaper now. They used to cost $45+ when they first came out, but now they are within $7-$12 for a 4-pack depending on the lifespan. When you first turn them on, they are not as bright, which is nice. They gently ease into brightness.

"If every American home replaced just one light bulb with an ENERGY STAR, we would save enough energy to light more than 2.5 million homes for a year and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of nearly 800,000 cars."

California may ban conventional lightbulbs by 2012
