LED-Based "Type-A" Lamps have a Good Shot of Winning Market Share

The Type-A lamp is the main “bulb” used in residential applications; therefore, as the incandescent bulb disappears from the marketplace. The LED-based Type-A lamp (‘bulb”) has a good shot at winning market share versus the CFL-based product.  The CFL has already copied the familiar Type-A bulb appearance and is available for consumers that do not like the “funny-looking” appearance of the conventional CFL –based lamp; however, with strong marketing efforts, sales/ distribution wins, technology/ brightness improvement, (etc) the LED-based lamp is forecast to be a tough competitor in the residential market.
