Light BulbIncandescent light bulbs may put out a warmer-looking, more familiar type of light than LEDs or compact fluorescents, but they’re far less efficient – the majority of the energy they use is wasted, mainly in the form of heat. Technology may save them yet, however. Scientists at MIT and Purdue University have developed an ultra-efficient new incandescent bulb that reuses the heat it gives off, converting that heat into more light. [ Read More ]
