New EnergyStar rated light fixtures will not have screw bases making it impossible to use incandescents. For a new home to be EnergyStar rated, it will have to have those fixtures.
I bought an exhaust fan and didn't realize I was getting one with one of the rectangular type CFLs. It has a 4-prong plug on it. They said it was the handicapped version. I guess it is easier for them to plug a bulb in instead of screwing it in.
So, I'm wondering what these handicapped people are doing getting out a ladder, setting it up in their bathtub, climbing up, removing the light cover, changing a bulb, putting the cover back on, climbing down, taking down the ladder, and putting it away. The bulb itself seems like the easy part!
Wackos just love to dream up reasons to make us do what they want.
I see a market for adaptors...
