It's taken three years to find a winner that could meet the high standards set forth by the DOE, specifically "ensuring that performance, quality, lifetime, cost, and availability meet expectations for widespread adoption and mass manufacturing."
Requirements further stipulated that the 60W incandescent killer use less than 10 watts of power, and provide energy savings of 83 percent. If Americans replaced all of their 60W incandescents with Philips' little winner, the DOE estimates savings of $3.9 billion in a single year. The bulb is expected to hit shelves as soon as early 2012.

Definitely good news!
It does seem like something good, but I think the design might put people off.
The world needs more products like this.
that's awsome .
bahaha xd
yeah! lets save money!
Good news!
That is a lot of saving. I dunno, though, is this gonna light up quicker than a normal energy saving bulb. The big problem with them is that they take like 10 minutes to light up.
cool stuff
Wow, awesome. 10M dollars too, thats incredible.
That's really good news!
