Emailing "GE Bringing Green Things to Life"
General Electric, owner of NBC and maker of wind turbines, jet engines and even medical scanners is better known to everyone as the light bulb company.
In a sign of these eco-conscious times, however, GE is changing tack on that front. The company is dropping all development on incandescent bulbs and will
pursue LED and OLED lighting instead. The move comes among looming bans on incandescents by some governments.
If they can produce some bulbs (or panels, dare we dream?) with natural, warm light, I'll be hitting Home Depot as soon as they become available.
Speaking of lighting, BASF has announced that they have
made big strides on the OLED front. In a nutshell, they have been able to hit the 60 lumens per watt mark, efficiently of course, and can sustain the purity of its white color regardless of intensity (Energy Star SSL Standard).
Kudos all around!
