Sharp’s new line of LED bulbs can change their white point from a set of eight color temperatures, allowing one to change the color temperature in any room via remote control from warmer to cooler, depending on use or occasion. The bulbs last 40,000 hours, and consume only between 4.1 and 7.5 watts, depending on model. The bulbs also emit virtually no light on the waveband that typically attracts insects.

This looks very promising – there’s great room for improvement on current energy saving light bulbs – at least in the European market. LED bulbs seems to be the right move.
The prices need to come down though, for general public acceptance.
