New LED 9 watt bulb from GE is to have a lifetime of 17 years

This is the latest LED bulb from GE that has been designed to last for 25000 hours or 17 years. However surprising it may sound, it is true. Once fitted you don’t have to worry for a replacement soon enough. In comparison to the 40 watt incandescent light bulb lasting 1000 hours, this 9 watt smart bulb saves about 77% of energy and has a lifespan that is 25 times more. The specific flower like design that seems to hold the bulb helps in drawing away the heat from the bulb; thus helping it to sustain a longer life.
The lighting effect and color of this new bulb are said to be similar to that of standard incandescent bulbs.If you want to know about the pricing then it will be within the range of $40 to $50. The bulb would be available for purchase later this year.
