These LED bulbs with 4FLOW™ filament design are currently available as either 40W- or 60W-equivalent products in your choice of Soft White (2700K) or Daylight (5000K) configurations.  This new design will likely help people feel even better about upgrading their lighting as the design of these new bulbs makes them look even closer to the incandescent bulbs they'll replacing than their current LED bulbs.  They are still rated to last you well over 20 years* and will continue to cost you under $2** a year to operate.
