LED. LEDs are expensive now but the price will come down. They are far superior to incandescents and compact fluoresecents. They are efficient, come in an infinite range of colors and shapes, and they give off very little heat, have no mercury, etc so they are way safer than both incandescents and fluorescents. In a few years the only people buying old fashioned incandescent bulbs will be clueless Republicans trying to score a political point. There is truly a revolution in lighting going on. Flat screen TVs, house and office lighting, street lights, auto lighting. In 10 years it will be ALL LED. This is one place where the supposedly market savvy Republicans have completely missed the boat.
