General Electric has come up with an LED replacement for 40-watt bulbs, where that candidate is good for up to 17 years while outputting 450 lumens of brightness. Known as the Energy Smart LED bulb, it shares somewhat similar output as a 40-watt incandescent although consuming a mere 9 watts of juice while it is at work. Capable of dispersing light more evenly compared to typical LED lights, the Energy Smart LED bulb will cost somewhere among $40 to $50 when it hits the market later that fall at best and early next year at worst. Each bulb comes with a 25,000 hour rating, and is environmentally friendly since it doesn’t hold any mercury. Life’s all about the small details, ain’t it?

Scotland can now claim to play host to the world’s largest working hydro-electric wave energy device – the Oyster. that machine is Aquamarine Power’s first demonstration-scale wave energy device, and based on the claim that a farm of 20 Oysters would supply decent energy to potential 9,000 three bedroom family homes, it’s certainly something worth looking into. With minimal moving parts, and all electrical components being onshore, it should be robust suitable to resist the rigors of Scotland’s harsh seas.
