LED technology is used in digital clocks, and is predicted to eclipse traditional lightbulbs. A company in California is developing an eye-pleasing version of the energy saving lightbulb. Other companies have introduced LED bulbs as well in the last few years, but most have the same problems: because LEDs are powered by semiconductors, they project light in only one direction and lack the warmth of their incandescent counterparts. Switch Lighting claims to have solved these problems by mounting outward-facing LEDs on metal fingers and cooling them with an inert liquid, making a warmer, brighter output. The bulbs are also recyclable and, like most LEDs, mercury free. They will be available in 40-, 60- and 75-watt equivalents, for about $20 each, later this year.
