Hate the spaghetti bulbs and LED’s can be overwhelming. If someone can bring back a good old incandescent bulb, more power to him!

I’m with you on the good old ones. I bought enough of them to last me for many years, so my kids will be able to use them!

They were banned because of a lie about man made global warming. The industry seemed to be on board with selling the public newer more expensive bulbs.

If something is a better mousetrap, the public will beat a path to your door.

We’ve outlawed televisions, light bulbs, toilets, air conditioners, and dishwasher detergent. This is not the purpose of government and the replacements are not superior.

I want to see LED Christmas lights go away. They have such a cold, harsh light and cast no glow whatsoever. Depressing. Give me the warm glow of twinkling incandescents on a cold winter’s night!

I was at our local Orchard Supply Hardware store last week and spotted regular old incandescent bulbs on a shelf end-cap. I was stunned, did a double-take, and stopped to see if it was true. Yep, they were indeed good old-fashioned incandescent bulbs. This was a huge shocker. It still rattles me seeing the $0.59 incandescent bulbs next to the $5-$10 LED bulbs.

My cache of a couple hundred is still going strong.

I hope this invention has commercial promise.

Meh. LED bulbs are the future, I think.
