The Continuum 2.4, from UK company Ceravision, has a theoretically infinite lifespan. A microwave emitter excites the gas in the "bulb" without any physical contact and reaches 50% energy efficiency, versus 15% for a fluorescent tube and a paltry 5% for an incandescent bulb.

Trump blamed energy-saving bulbs for making him look orange. Experts say probably not.
