An LED Bulb Is Both Dimmable and Affordable

Here’s a bulb you might think about licking rather than lighting. Philips’s cut the weight of its new SlimStyle lamp down to about three ounces by eliminating the heat sink found in most other LED lamps. The bulb looks unlike any that has come before — more like a lollipop than a lamp. It has the ability to dim and gets only warm to the touch even after a few hours of illumination, eliminating two shortcomings of LED bulbs. It’s priced under $10 at Home Depot.
