Working with Shirley on lighting ideas for her studio.
Timely piece last week in NYTimes:
A U.S. Alliance to Update the Light Bulb

But I've also been waiting to leap-frog to LED's and started looking.
Among a few sites, found these : LED Light Bulbs
Pricey but that should start to change.
Likely makes sense for commercial use, where you have lights on for a long time, and therefore have shorter payback via energy savings.
Speaking of energy savings, slashed out electric bill downstate by turning off the water heater when I'm gone.
Whether or not C02 and "Global Warming" are a problem, the move to greener products makes sense, just to lower our own costs.
