JB0 Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 Anyone heard when the new Lightbulb will come out? omg thank you GE! GE fakes their lumen outputs. Runs a bank of halogen spotlights and claims it's their newest incandescent design. They've NEVER gotten anywhere near the brightness they claim that they'll get. Quote
