Default New Light bulb on it's way.

Work in progress. Most of that page describes bullet-point "patent"
design ideals.

No-where does it describe the new technology to replace filament /
discharge lighting with equivalent optical output with energy saving.

Currently set up as a prototype there's a significant amount of
integration to be performed before it could become remotely viable, and
even then without the new technology to provide effective lighting
levels, it's a dead-duck.

A brave investment opportunity, to be sure. In the mean-time, I'll
continue stock-piling GU10s.
