Cree makes light bulb that doesn't suck as much, green tech blogger nonplussed

The first thing you'll notice is that Cree's new 4Flow bulb sports an interesting heat dissipation design: ventilation holes in the top and bottom of the bulb. But, forget that. The light produced by this bulb looks actually good. For once, a Cree bulb won't be relegated to our outdoor fixtures where we don't have to see it much, or simply not used at all.
Light quality: Very good. We could not tell the difference between this and an incandescent bulb.
Light quality when dimmed: Very good. The bulb dimmed smoothly with both our Leviton 6615 (trailing edge) and MACL-153M (leading edge) dimmers.
Buzz/hum: None detectable.
Buzz/hum when dimmed: Very low. It is unlikely the bulb would be heard in a quiet room.
RF interference: Like Cree's other bulbs, this bulb produced a mild amount of electromagnetic interference. However, when we moved our radio several feet away, the radio worked properly.
Notes: The bulb's packaging does not prohibit its use in fully enclosed fixtures.
Price: $10.97 at Home Depot Canada. This bulb's relatively high purchase price makes it the most expensive bulb over 10,000 hours that we have tested.
