Who the hell even buys CFL’s? They were a crap solution forced on the buying public in the first place... I can’t imagine these horrible things sell worth a damn now that LED’s are out there.
To: ChicagoConservative27
O o I did this and we went out and bought 10 years worth of real light bulbs

I don’t use them nor do I care-—but why is government (once again) involved in every aspect of our lives? Let the free market shake this out——
To: ChicagoConservative27
I remember when light bulbs were cheap and actually provided light

I bought one CFL out of curiosity. No hazmat incident as yet.

Well, it was the stupid government that forced CFD’s into our lives. Environmental hazards AND more expensive than incandescents. So the stupid government has finally discovered the stupidity of CFD’s.

Exactly.
They will phase themselves out without any “help” from the government.

So filling the landfills with mercury is now good for the environment? Who knew?
To: Red Badger
CFLs don't even work in real cold weather (like 0 degrees Fahrenheit).

Do they still sell CFLs? Why would anyone buy them over an LED? I'll admit that we still have some in use at our house, but that's only because I'm too lazy to change them out before they die. But they take time to warm up to full output, whereas LEDs are 100% from the start.
Hopefully they'll continue the exemptions for specialty bulbs, otherwise someone is going to try to put an LED in their oven light socket, and find a nasty surprise the first time they use the oven...

No CFLs here but I have one LED light in the laundry room that came with the house. It’s horrible, flickers constantly.

Remember when you took your burned out bulbs to the electric company and they gave you new ones for free?
To: ChicagoConservative27
Can you even buy them now? That was one of the fastest product life cycles ever. LED blew them out of the water in about 5 years.
