We've written about the brilliant new Philip's LED replacement for the common incandescent light bulb several times on Inhabitat, and now we're stoked to report that the 12W A19 AmbientLED is finally available in a store near you. These brilliant bulbs deliver the same illumination as a 60-watt incandescent lightbulb at a mere 12 watts - using just 20% of the electricity of an incandescent. The new LED light also boasts a life of 25,000 hours, and a single bulb can save you hundreds of dollars per year off of your electricity bill. So what are you waiting for? Ring in the new year on a green note by switching to the A19 AmbientLED bulb today. Thanks for reading everyone, we'll see you in 2011.. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Jill & Mike Your Merry Inhabitat editors
