The pukes who support this legislation maintain there is not an outright ban on incandescents, only that if one is to use incandescents they must comply with the law's limits on consumption. I'd wonder if we have any 'regular', non-mercuric light bulbs which would NOT be banned under this garbage legislation ? Seems to me, an impossible standard has been established so a product can be banned without being named specifically. So, I guess we can ban any handgun greater than .11 and below
.93 ? Oh and all firearms that use them..... It's a ban by omission.
The criminals in congress do feel good stuff like banning lightbulbs and mandating crappers that don't work while the country goes to hades in a handbasket.
I have myself begun stock piling incadescent light bulbs. I find most of my incandescents are 60 watt, so I'm getting a bunch of those. I use CFLs in some places -- garage, outside light, bathroom light, utility room -- but there are other places I do not want to use compact flourescent lights. Flourescent light is quite bad for some kinds of beer (sunlight, also, is very bad for these selected kinds of beer -- for example German lager beer with lots of hopps -- it is the ultraviolet light that causes this harm, lot of UV in both natural sunlight and in flourescent light). I store some beer and wine in my walk-in closet. Hence, I don't want a CFL in my closet. My dining room has a chandelier type of light fixture with six 40 watt bulbs sort of in the shape of candle flames. Incandescents. I don't know if absolutely ALL incadescents are going to be banned -- including such oddly shaped chandelier bulbs, refrigerator bulbs, stove bulbs, dryer bulbs, etc. -- but I'll have a good stock notwithstanding. Can I buy a 10 years supply of bulbs? Maybe not. I'm not sure how many bulbs I replace in a given year. But if nothing else I'll have some time before being pushed to face the Brave New World. And just maybe the legislature will rethink the ban and the businesses can restart production before I run out?

I've been stocking up as well. But, I had just been grabbing the regular bulbs. Completely forgot about the kitchen/dining room chandelier lights. Road trip to Lowe's!
Good luck, Kids....around here, I'm having one heck of a time trying to locate some of those little halogens I have in my kitchen and in my basement spotlights....can't get this stuff for love or money.
I see light bulb smugglers( blackmarket markets) & lightbulb police Doing body cavity searchs(Oh wait maybe that was the trip to the airport)
Sometimes i like to generate more heat then light( like to use those ol bulbs to keep some of my water lines from freezing to)
But it was defeated hmmm.Guess big gov daddy & nanny & mommy know best.
