Graphene Light Bulbs Coming To Stores Soon

An anonymous reader writes: A light bulb made from graphene — said by its UK developers to be the first commercially viable consumer product using the super-strong carbon — is to go on sale later this year. The dimmable LED bulb with a graphene-coated filament was designed at Manchester University, where the material was discovered in 2004. It is said to cut energy use by 10% and last longer owing to its conductivity. It is expected to be priced lower than current LED bulbs, which cost about £15 (~$22) each.

I heard that the reason Democrats pushed for CFLs was because they're reptilian and the UV light emitted is good for them, but now that they're getting phased out for LEDs they're all panicking.
