As the ban on incandescent lighting begins to take effect in 2012, other technologies, like the more costly LED and CFLs will have to replace them. Starting next year 100-watt LED light bulbs will flood the market with a price tag as high as $50 per bulb. Lower wattage bulbs will replace incandescent bulbs in the next few years with the same sticker shock for everyone, but costs will drop more quickly as big companies with LED expertise start making and selling them.

Let's hope the prices do drop quickly then because $50 is way too much for a lightbulb
I had no idea that they made light bulbs. lol.
what an outrageous price!
That's insane.
Hmm, I guess it depends on how many hours you can get out of the bulb. It might be worth the price.
As long as they last much longer, I don't mind.
That light bulb looks awesome!
A drop in prices would always be welcomed
Why did they start doing this again? Sorry I just dont understand..entirely...
Damn that's kinda expensive.
I'd almost rather pay $50 for LEDs than use shitty CFLs for everything -- they work fine on pure hours life, but are SHIT when they're turned on and off several times a day -- shorter life than a normal incandescent even!
I'm sorry but that's a ridiculously high price, hopefully it comes down soon.
$50 bucks? I'm ten seconds away from shitting my pants.
price is bound to drop. Maybe its just wishful thinking
Hopefully they won't be cheap in every sense of the word. Still. More light + less energy = win-win.
We actually have a program in Australia where a company will install energy efficient light bulbs in your house for free...
those are great news indeed!
i'll buy if it will be cheap or else i won't
I hope it will drop! I also spooted an guy selling the old light bulbs now on ebay, he sells them as "heat bilbs" cause they produce more warmth than light ;)
These last forever. But $50 is still way too much. Considering the costs of production.
That's a scary looking lightbulb!
I hope they'll be cheaper! I like their look!
I actually have a friend who made their own for really cheap and it works pretty well. I think I'm going to go that route at some point and make my own too.
Looks like dildo in light.
2 in 1! yay
