Plunge in price makes LED bulbs 'a bargain'

An Orlando home-improvement store now has a hot-deal display of 60-watt replacement LEDs — soft white — for $9.97 each that promise $139 in electricity savings. What's a bulb shopper to do? "When you think about it for more than a few seconds, you will quickly see that the $10 LED light bulb is actually a bargain," said Noah Horowitz, senior scientist at Natural Resources Defense Council.
