I am looking for the actual language of the law, but I cannot find it yet.

This ban will include all incandescent and halogen bulbs.

It is quite possible that you will no longer be able to buy some headlights and tail lights for your car as well because they are incandecent.

I am stocking up on appliance/lava lamp bulbs as well as halogen bulbs for my desk lamp, maybe some car bulbs

We went LED a few years ago. Haven’t replaced a bulb since. Has helped, along with a new AC to keep electric bill in check.

The decision was meant to conserve energy

Baloney.

The decision was meant to decrease our freedom, and increase the scope and power of Government Almighty.

I don’t think we will get rid of car lights.

Just purchased 24 Packages (96) GE Bulbs for $49.98. Likely will outlive me.

Try finding a bulb for a heat lamp that’s not incandescent. Heat lamps have saved plumbing from bursting and livestock from freezing to death. Stupid democRATS just can’t leave well enough alone.
Those silly screw tail leds don’t last like they promised. I drop them off at Walmart and the box hardware stores when they go out. Strategically placed around the store at various shelf locations.

Exactly, if they can mandate this because of CLIMATE CHANGE, what can't they mandate.

Yep. In my kitchen. DH is a licensed electrician and has put in modern 200 amp service. Maybe quality of the bulbs are going south like everything else.

Most people have already switched because LEDs last years longer than Edison bulbs. As usual the govt is years behind the times. Go to Home Depot and Edison bulbs are starting to get scarce. It’s financially dumb to use them.

Yes, one of the 40 watt screw-in in my bathroom lights was very dim this morning, and flickering. They don’t last 7 years like promised.
