Incandescent Lamps Going Away

Manufacturing of the bulbs will be banned, gradually, starting in 2012 with the high-wattage 100-watt bulbs. The 75-watt bulb will follow in 2013, then the 60- and 40-watt in 2013.

While compact florescent light, CFL, has been around for more than a decade, electric device manufacturers and energy conservation specialists are scrambling to educate consumers on purchasing both CFL bulbs and a new generation of halogen incandescent or cutting-edge LED bulbs, the new “green lighting” solutions.

With the growing prominence of the energy-saving compact florescent bulbs and the scheduled incandescent phase out, other numbers come into play -lumens and kelvins.
CFLs cost more than three or four times incandescent bulbs. But an average CFL bulb can save the user between $30 and $60 through its lifetime.
