I always thought that “raising public awareness” was the equivalent of "Save our useless jobs." Pity they didn't just stay useless, rather than go on a crusade.

Not that I can't see making the public aware of potentially lethal hazards, but more often than not, industry can do that without extra bureaucrats or legislation.

I love the LEDs. My store has eight recessed light fixtures that had halogen mini floods in them, which burned out after about six weeks. Replaced them with equivalent LEDs which were around 10 a piece at Costco. I’m now replacing the candelabra bulbs one at a time. They are three for $20 at Costco. I’m hoping the prices keep coming down and I’ll replace every bulb at home and work with LEDs.

I can imagine some guy in his basement...illegally (3D) printing illegal incandescent light bulbs.
