Yes, these are available, but be aware that in order for them to last longer and be able to withstand rougher service, they have thicker filaments and do not produce the same amount of light as traditional incandescent bulbs of the same wattage. So, a 60 watt rough service bulb may only produce the same lumens as a 40 watt standard bulb.

So, what we are going to see is somewhat similar to what happens with the stupid water saving shower heads and toilets. The toilets often have to be flushed twice to get the job done, and people end up taking the water flow restrictors out of the shower heads in order to get any flow. Otherwise, it takes twice as long to take a shower.

What we are going to see is weak pallid American citizens who don’t know their duty to protect their own freedom! We are going to see more and more of our freedoms destroyed because our citizens don’t stop it.
