US company unveils new ultra-efficient LED bulb

A firm in the US has launched a new variety of LED bulb which it states is both more efficient and longer-lasting than traditional lighting technology. Leds America has introduced its Led-O bulb, a 100 per cent recyclable item which is designed to be usable as a straight replacement for a standard bulb. The 6W bulb is said to be able to deliver the same lighting output as a traditional 60W bulb and is 50 per cent more efficient than the current standard compact fluorescent lamp bulbs.
