Anyone can still buy the “severe service” or “Commercial Grade” incandescent light bulbs. They left those alone in the legislation. Most commonly used by contractors t construction sites and also available all over the place for drop lamps more commonly used in garages by mechanics.
With that said, I long ago went to LED because they do not suffer from the vibrations of rugged use. True, they cost more to obtain but I have had no need to replace them. One needs to consider that factor in their buying decisions. For the home I am switching to LED after my supply of the regular bulbs is depleted.
I like it much better than my CFLs, although interestingly, its not that much more energy efficient. It work much better though. Hopefully the prices of these things continues to drop.
My problem with LEDs is that they are rated to replace VERY low-light incandescent bulbs. I read their labels: 15w, 20w, etc. I haven’t yet seen 40w or higher in stores. I would gladly replace my CFLs (when they finally burn out) with LEDs IF the light output would be the same AND the light quality (warmth, color) would be the same. Every time I see a display in a store with an LED bulb, a CFL bulb, an incandescent bulb and a halogen bulb, it’s not plugged in! That’s frustrating, because I really would like to see the difference in light quantity and quality.
