New light bulbs will last almost two decades

General Electric has unveiled a light bulb it says will last 17 years.

"This is a bulb that can virtually light your kid's bedroom desk lamp from birth through high school graduation," says John Strainic of GE Lighting.

The GE Energy Smart LED 40-watt light bulb will hit shelves in 2011. According to GE, the bulb will consume nine watts, provide a 77% energy savings and produce about as much light as a 40-watt incandescent bulb.

More efficient light bulbs mean fewer sales, which is why these new energy-smart bulbs will cost between $40-$50 US a pop.

In April, the Canadian government announced it would ban inefficient light bulbs by 2012. The U.S. also plans to wean its citizens off inefficient light bulbs between 2012 and 2014.
