Lightbulbs are shipped across state lines, so they are subject to regulation under the Interstate Commerce Clause.
This is what they use to justify EVERYTHING.
The founders CLEARLY meant that the feds could intervene only when there was a dispute between the states.

Remember during the Roberts confirmation hearing when they were talking about his earlier environmental dissent about a frog that never crossed state lines, therefore it wasn't a federal issue?

Don’t forget. The New Deal USSC also found that if you DON’T ship a product across state lines, you are thereby affecting interstate commerce—and thus subject to regulation.
