Here's a wiki article that looks at the cost of ownership of these different light bulbs that takes into account the initial cost of the bulb, its energy consumption, its light output, its lifetime length, and the cost of electricity.

Light-protection-system, designed by Manuel Perez Prada of Germany, is friendly to the environment because of the use of electrical induction technique.

At the moment it isn’t financially practical for companies to implement this development, but nothing is when it is first discovered.

I have the privilege to show to the public: the first ever official electricity bill , that come from a green energy installation for pubblic lighting.
