Which light bulb is the best?

Which light bulb is the best?  Is it the cheapest or the one that is the brightest…no maybe it’s the one that uses the less energy…but wait, could it be a combination of all of the above?  You bet! 
Teacher LEADER Stacy Maynard and her 5th grade science class hosted a demonstration by Dr. Glenn Lipscomb, Professor and Chemical Environmental Engineer from the University of Toledo on Thursday, March 21st.  The students took a variety of data measurements and made dozens of observations during the one hour session trying to determine which bulb had the greatest value. 
So…which bulb will be suggested for purchase?  Mrs. Maynard will be reviewing their data next week with the students to come up with a final recommendation.  So parents, as the lighting in your home operates more efficiently hold on to your wallets and purses as you go shopping for new light bulbs!
