• The replacement for your LED exists, it’s quietly reaching store shelves.
• The technology that beats your LED is… a new LED.
• The number that matters on a bulb is lumens per watt: how much light you get for each unit of power.
• The new ultra-efficient class doubles that, which means a fixture that needed 9 watts can now do the same job on 4 to 5, and it does it while the Department of Energy keeps tightening standards precisely to push these bulbs into the mainstream.
