when these bans would start as early as 2012

The product is available in a high power type and a high color rendering type, each in white and incandescent colors. For the high power type, the luminous flux of the white-color model is 52lm, while that of the incandescent-color model is 42lm. For the high color rendering type, the luminous flux of the white model is 42lm, while that of the incandescent color model is 33lm.It was February of 2007 that GE announced a high efficiency incandescent led flood light bulb that was comparable to that of compact fluorescents (CFL). The HEI bulb provided better light quality and without any nasty mercury. The bulb was expected to hit the market sometime in 2010. But announcements of Australia, Canada, and even some U.S. states planning to ban the bulb made companies like GE and Philips question their longevity. Especially when these bans would start as early as 2012.

GE has planned to restructure its light bulb business in October of 2007. Harvard business school professor Daniel Snow claims that GE’s HEI was the company’s “last gasp” of inspiration on the Edison bulb. While now, GE spokesman David Schuellerman announced GE’s current plans: GE Consumers & Industrial and GE Global Research have suspended the development of the high-efficiency incandescent lamp (HEI) to place greater focus and investment on what we believe will be the ultimate in energy efficient lighting —LEDs and OLEDs. Research and development of these technologies is moving at an impressive pace and will be ready for general lighting in the near future.

LEDs and OLEDs used in general lighting are now poised to surpass the projected efficiency levels of HEI, along with other energy-efficient technologies like fluorescent, and have the additional benefits of long life and durability.It’s reported that Taiwan there private companies have jointly developed an automatic-charging LED bicycle lamp. It’s disclosed that the high-tech LED bicycle lamp will be commercialized and launched in the market in February 2009.Lee Shui-yuan, president of led high bay light, one of the joint developers, pointed out that the new LED bicycle lamp is the only multi-function LED illumination device available on the market that can function as a bicycle front lamp, rear warning light, brake lamp, or an emergency flashlight.
