www.independent.co.uk: "First graphene light bulbs to go on sale this year":
The dimmable bulb is expected to cut energy costs by 10 per cent and last for years, thanks to the material’s super conductivity, but still cost the same or less than current LEDs.
Its filament will be coated in graphene, which is 200 times stronger than steel but one million times thinner than a human hair. The bulb is being developed by Graphene Lighting, a company with links to Manchester University, where the one-atom thick material was developed. -
www.bbc.com: "Graphene light bulb set for shops":
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. See also short video.

http://www.wired.co.uk/: "Graphene light bulbs are coming this year":
The first product made from the wonder material graphene will go on sale later this year: a light bulb. The dimmable LED bulb will reportedly cut energy costs and should last longer than conventional lights, its creators said. -
http://www.washingtonpost: "Why the graphene light bulb could switch on a new era of innovation"
This could be an important moment in attracting other innovators to experiment with graphene. The first graphene light bulb — a dimmable bulb with a filament-shaped LED coated with graphene — will be hitting store shelves in the UK “within months” at a price point lower than many current LED light bulbs.
