UNDATED (NBC) - As we say goodbye to 2012, we're also saying goodbye to a fixture in America's lighting fixtures: The 75-watt incandescent light bulb.
Under federal law, 75-watt bulbs can no longer be produced or imported as of January 1st, though retailers can still clear remaining stock.
**SNIP**
Traditional 60 and 40 watt bulbs will be phased out in 2014.

Are 100’s gone already?
Yeah. I bet. DDT made Panama livable, no?
Start smuggling light bulbs in and they will really close the borders.

Now if I could just find a way to import full flush toilets from Canada and full water usage washers from Mexico, I would be a happy gal. We already know how to remove the water saver device from faucets and showerheads.
Thank you for the link. Yes, I wish we could import good toilets. My low water toilet is the bane of my existence.
Go to home depot, buy a larger multi gallon tank, and a rubber washer to seal to the toilet, and a new float valve mechanism. set the foloat valve to the highest level prior to spill over, and vioa, you once again have a multi gallon flusher!
Best get a new wall valve as well, they go bad and leak when messed with.
Thank you. I’m hoping to remodel the bathroom, including getting a new toilet. I’m all thumbs with plumbing, but a local plumber I use may be willing to make the fix.
You also live in the land of the parasites. This is not a criticism of your country, simply an observation. You live in a free society and that society has chosen this road.
It scares me, too.
If I ran a store that sold light bulbs I’d request a voter registration card. Democrats would not be able to purchase incandescent bulbs of any wattage.
If anybody thinks I'm going to vote for Jeb in 2016, they're out of their minds!
Nanny State PING!

Thanks for the ping!
I have enough 100 and 75 Watts to last me 10 lifetimes. If they want them, they have to find them. :P
