Bidding an old friend farewell - The incandescent light bulb

This age old wonder has served us well for the last 130 years. We now recognize that it has also been emitting GHGs (Green House Gases) and wasting 90% of the energy used to produce light in the heat it emitts.

After many years of serving us well, the incandescent light bulb is being retired by the year 2013.  By phasing out the incandescent light bulb the city officials are hard lining the mandate to reduce energy consumption and prevent environmental impact.  

It is time to bid farewell to the incandescent light bulb and update our light source... ... If not now... When?
