Researchers from MIT have developed a new incandescent bulb that&#39;s more energy efficient (via MIT, Photo from Nature ) As our society becomes more energy-conscious more and...en-USTelligent Community 12RE: New type of incandescent light bulbs feeds off own heat, saves energyhttps://community.element14.com/technologies/power-management/b/blog/posts/new-type-of-incandescent-light-bulbs-feeds-off-own-heat-saves-energyThu, 11 Feb 2016 06:14:42 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:fd6ae778-4f93-4b33-8273-383fd505bd6bPolymorph1<p>You are kidding, right?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><blockquote class="jive-quote"><p><span>This improved the efficiency of the bulb to 6.6%, triple that of traditional light bulbs.</span></p></blockquote><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Um... so use LEDs. Even fluorescents are -way- more efficient than that. And LED lighting has been getting better at giving you a broad spectrum rather than just a few color spikes.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=1127&AppID=4&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
