I saw one of these light bulbs at Meijer just last weekend.
Meijer is a regional store - similar to Wal-Mart, carrying groceries and household items.
Also - check for 29 watt, 53 watt, etc. bulbs at the store.
A Manufacturer Found a Loophole Around That Incandescent Light Bulb Ban
Excerpt:
With millions of people still supporting the use of incandescent bulbs, Birnbaum found a loophole in the Energy Independence and Security Act. The ban applies to general service incandescent light bulbs but not rough service incandescents.
While frequently used in automobiles, subway systems and other applications that require a heavy-duty, vibration-resistant bulb, rough service bulbs can still be used in a general application, according to Birnbaum.
The website Bulbs.com breaks it down this way: “Rough service lamps function identically to regular incandescent lamps, but generally have additional wire within the glass enclosure that serves to protect and support the filament.” [emphasis added]
