Regular Light Bulbs Made Super-Efficient
Scientists at the University of Rochester have found a way to make Regular Light Bulbs Super-Efficient. If this technology can be moved into production scale, the increased efficiency plus the toxicity of CFL’s maybe America really will become Pro Choice - for lightbulbs…

The article says…..
An ultra-powerful laser can turn regular incandescent light bulbs into power-sippers, say optics researchers at the University of Rochester. The process could make a light as bright as a 100-watt bulb consume less electricity than a 60-watt bulb while remaining far cheaper and radiating a more pleasant light than a fluorescent bulb can.
This is nothing to get excited about IMHO. I’d rather stick with my CFL’s at 13-watts each than to go back to 60-watts per bulb.
