Thanks to GE for coming up with the Energy Smart® LED bulb, we can save much more electrical energy in the future. Compared with ordinary bulbs, the new one can distribute light in all directions, but costing less energy. It consumes 9-W of energy, amounting to a 77% savings compared to 40-W incandescent. It is also said that the LED bulb can last up to 17 years, if you use it 4 hours per day. The GE will launch it sometime early 2011 at a price of $40 to $50.

I’ve got about 30 light bulbs in my home. Assuming the cheaper price of $40 it would only cost me $1200 to outfit these in my home. Only $1200, What a great deal!

“last up to 17 years, if you use it 4 hours per DAY”
That means it will last 5 and 1/2 years if used 12 hours a day, which is more reasonable usage. 40 watts is weak.
