L Prize, so-named because it was honored by the U.S. Department of Energy as the most energy-efficient 60-watt equivalent bulb extant, is flanked by two Endura LED indoor flood lamps, the 36-degree narrow-focused 950 lumen bulb (less than $40) and the 90-degree wider coverage 730 model (less than $35), both of which will be available in the next week or so. They may sound expensive, but will last anywhere from 10 to 20 years of average usage - the L Prize is rated for 27.4 years - and save more than a $150 in energy costs over their lifespan.
