Did the same thing. Strangely the LED producers rapidly improved their product and so did the Low water flush stools, mine never missis on first try. Well to be honest sometimes I can overwork it.

I need these bulbs for my Lava Lamps
why do fascists hate Lava lamps?
hint: They hate privacy.

Can’t imagine abound using those old things. LEDs are actually pretty awesome. I changed out my entire house with them. Is this really worth a fight over? What next blacksmith employment?
“Besides being ridiculously easy on power consumption, they last for ever, and I don’t have to climb ladders to change burned out bulbs.”
One problem though... Since there is no standard form factor for LED bulbs or color from hot tungsten filament, replacing bulbs in a multi-bulb fixture is problematic.
I just hate it when I am forced to purchase incandescent light bulbs. When the guns poke me in the ribs it really leaves a bruise.
“If the older lightbulb technology stays on store shelves, environmentalists say, the added emissions from their use by millions of consumers would be akin to keeping 128 coal plants running for a full year.”
More jobs!
The price on LED bulbs has come down to the point they are almost affordable.
So they dont like incandescent bulbs? Well why waste time and electricity trying to ban them?!
LEDs are already flooding the market because the tech has become cheap to produce, quality better, and the prices are dropping fast!
In 20 years people are likely not even going to buy them if they were for sale.
The market will take care of the “problem”.
“I don’t have to climb ladders to change burned out bulbs.”
Amen. We’ve got a light in the basement stairwell that used to go out every 6 months and is dangerous to change.
LED fixed that problem.
I have a few LEDs in use here-but I prefer incandescent for a lot of uses-plus I don’t like using a light bulb I’ll have to put on a hazmat suit to clean up if it breaks...
Incandescent bulbs, for me, have lasted longer than CFLs.
I stocked up on 100 W incandescent bulbs a few years ago. I have plenty left.
On the other hand I very much like an LED floor lamp I got for about $50. It’s the best reading light I have, but its light doesn’t fill a room.
“The new house we purchased in central Texas earlier this year has LED lighting inside and outside.”
Congrats on the new home!
“The rule is harmful to the environment and also to consumers”
As harmful as second hand smoke.
Is Mike Landis, litigation director at U.S. PIRG, a communist?
He does not trust the free market to favor purchasing more efficient lighting? He and his ilk think that they know better than you.
Incadescent light bulbs come in handy when you need both heat and light, like for a brooder, or to keep a pet warm, or to keep a radiator from freezing. Outlawing the use of incandescent lighting is Democratic and Communist, because they do not want to bother to see what the unintended consequences entail. They do not trust free enterprise to let the incandescent light bulb disappear as demand goes down.
Mike Landis does not want you to have a choice.
The incandescent bulb allows one to lower their whole house heating in this way. Put a table lamp with an incandescent bulb next the chair that you are sitting or working in. It keeps you warm while the rest of the room is very cool. In this case the incandescent bulb is in effect even more than 100% efficient. And I know people who do it.
They might be worth more than the Polaroid 600 camera I found still in the box recently.
It had been sitting in a metal building for decades.
The camera is in near mint condition. I flipped it open and pressed buttons. There was enough juice to fire the flash a couple of times. The film cartridge was junk.
I thought wasting billions of dollars is what environmentalists were all about.
In Northern climes, when traffic lights started using replacement LED lamps, it became necessary to add an aux heater to the fixture to deal with snow and freezing rain.
As long as it was on seasonally or temperature controlled, it probably saved a lot over the course of a year.

EVERYTHING has an energy signature... A light bulb, a gold bracelet... a pound of caviar.
So if we want to SAVE DE EARF... let’s outlaw fine wines, restaurant meals, international travel, private jets, gold jewelry, and caviar. Oh and yachts, vacation homes and expensive art - - all items carry larger ‘energy signatures’ than incandescent bulbs.
