Making efficient lighting pretty, too

The compact fluorescent has gotten a lot of flack for buzz, flicker, stark color, and slow warm-up.* So what's getting the lighting industry to take more interest in this energy efficient incandescent replacement?

See the video at Energy Roundup

*Note: these problems have largely been solved.

Hello,

Great post/topic. Energy efficient devices/technologies are going to be crucial in driving down consumption. Lighting is such a big part of how the U.S. and world are using energy, so we need to keep improving those technologies. CFLs are a good answer for now, but OLEDs are another technology that may change the landscape in a few years. http://www.universaldisplay.com/white.htm

GE and Konica mentioned they should have OLED white lighting in a few years. http://www.popsci.com/popsci/whatsnew/11723001344d3110vgnvcm1000004eecbccdrcrd.html
