This is a very old story. A more recent one (January 2015)<\/a>\u00a0suggests that scientists have found a way to make the old-style bulb more energy efficient (better than LEDs).

Such bulbs are not being manufactured yet, and I would suggest that they are years away – and they may not even make it to market. For one thing, they will still “burn out”, whereas LED bulbs don’t.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, I’m getting a lot of hits by people searcing for ‘ Pharox 240v light bulb ‘ or similar. The Pharox appears to be quite difficult to get hold of but you can easily buy equivalent models – take a look here and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
