A new LED product emits 240 lumens at 1A, and claims the industry's highest efficacy up to 100lm/W@360mA. In comparison, fluorescent manages 70lm/W and incandescent pulls a mere 15lm/W. The LED is designed for all sorts of applications, from flashlights to traffic signals, but we're particularly looking forward to this thing showing up in projectors and LCD backlights. » original news (VIA-hugg.com)

While I believe Wal-Mart is serious about tackling major environmental challenges, Someone needs to call them on this one "100 million Compact Fluorescent Campaign" before they make a million mistakes. Very nice LED's have been on the market and in my home for over 4 years? How is it that "Wal*Mart" can not implement this program with technology that is 10-100% more efficient? The IMPACT Wal*Mart would be "life changing"...
JUST WRONG... If Wal*Mart would just call an expert, they can "learn" that there is Mercury in compact fluorescent lighting that is FAR more damaging than the short term gains they offer - Seriously! GO LED
