25 YEAR LIGHT BULB HITS THE MARKET

Daily Mail - The Pharox light bulb lasts 25 years or longer if used for four hours a day. . . A version that brightens up instantly, costs just 88p a year to run and lasts up to 25 years has gone on sale in Britain for the first time. The only catch is that the new LED bulb will cost L30. Manufacturers claim the Pharox is the first low-energy bulb to give off the same light quality and brightness as a conventional 60-watt traditional bulb. They say that, despite its initial cost, each bulb will pay for itself in just three years. After that, each one used could shave around L9 a year off a typical household electricity bill.
