I wonder how many light bulb manufacturers went out of business in anticipation of the ban?

All of them. Lots of jobs lost. If there are “green jobs” are there “green jobless”.

I wonder how many light bulb manufacturers went out of business in anticipation of the ban?

All of them. From a September 2010 Washington Post article:

"WINCHESTER, VA. - The last major GE factory making ordinary incandescent light bulbs in the United States is closing this month, marking a small, sad exit for a product and company that can trace their roots to Thomas Alva Edison's innovations in the 1870s.

The remaining 200 workers at the plant here will lose their jobs.

How many won't continue or re-start manufacturing because they aren't funding enforcement? Those jobs are gone...
