“I thought the manufacturing of these alleged planet destroying devices had been outlawed a few years back.”
No, the manufacture was outlawed in the USA. If they were made in China..... ;-)
Wait until you check out the prices of the new LED bulbs.
They are expensive but getting cheaper.
If they really last as long as they are rated, it is not a bad deal. And it is kinda nice to get 60 watts of light for 10 watts. I am slowly converting my home over to LED.

I get a laugh out of the “they’ll last YEARS!” lie.
Well, sort of lie.
The LED will last a long time but don’t forget the voltage has to be stepped down (120V to ~5V) and made into DC (V.S. AC). That is the failure point; one bad surge (we get ‘em all the time) and the transformer is dead or the component that does the AC->DC conversion burns out.
It isn’t the LED that’s expensive, it is all the support to make it light up which is also the weak link.
