Woohoo! Philips has  just unveiled the 12-watt EnduraLED – the world’s first replacement for the commonly used 60 watt incandescent. It lasts 25 times longer and uses only 20% of the energy of current bulbs. They work with standard dimmers and produce a soft white glow that is similar to the light emitted by incandescent bulbs.

It is expected to be in stores in the USA later this year, so hopefully we should get it soon after.
