The dimmable bulb contains a filament-shaped LED coated in graphene. It was designed at Manchester University, where the material was discovered.
It is said to cut energy use by 10% and last longer owing to its conductivity.
The National Graphene Institute at the university was opened this month.
The light bulb was developed by a Canadian-financed company called Graphene Lighting - one of whose directors is Prof Colin Bailey, deputy vice-chancellor at the University of Manchester.

10% less than what?

filament-shaped LED coated in graphene

it is pure speculation on my part but i am thinking it is 10% less power than an equal lumen output LED.
time will tell.

Hopefully that is the case! I was thinking it read like 10% less consumption than traditional incandescent, which wouldn't really be worth it. But then they say they're using an LED which is what threw me.
