Since the United States adopted new lighting efficiency standards in 2012, light bulb manufacturers have been racing to develop products that use less energy but perform as well as power-hogging incandescents. For years, the most popular form of alternative illumination has been compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs), but that may change. Today, GE Lighting announced that it plans to halt CFL production by the end of 2016 and will tout light-emitting diode bulbs (LEDs) as the preferred energy-efficient household product.
