Consumer Reports Light-Bulb Ratings Free On Facebook

Consumer Reports for the first time ever will provide free content on Facebook -- but it's reviews of light bulbs.

A light bulb went off as Consumer Reports began preparing its “2011 Guide to Light Bulbs.”

The “2011 Guide to Light Bulbs” will appear in the October issue of Consumer Reports, which will be available on newsstands September 6.

The magazine’s online content is usually available to subscribers only, protected by a paywall.
