Didn't obozo try this?

[HamiltonJay]

Who the hell even buys CFL’s? They were a crap solution forced on the buying public in the first place... I can’t imagine these horrible things sell worth a damn now that LED’s are out there.

[albie]

O o I did this and we went out and bought 10 years worth of real light bulbs

[mikelets456]

I don’t use them nor do I care-—but why is government (once again) involved in every aspect of our lives? Let the free market shake this out——

[silverleaf]

I remember when light bulbs were cheap and actually provided light

[jimfree]

I bought one CFL out of curiosity. No hazmat incident as yet.

[Magnum44]

Well, it was the stupid government that forced CFD’s into our lives. Environmental hazards AND more expensive than incandescents. So the stupid government has finally discovered the stupidity of CFD’s.

[Red Badger]

Nobody buys those things anymore................

[patriot torch]

So filling the landfills with mercury is now good for the environment? Who knew?

[Yo-Yo]

Do they still sell CFLs? Why would anyone buy them over an LED? I'll admit that we still have some in use at our house, but that's only because I'm too lazy to change them out before they die. But they take time to warm up to full output, whereas LEDs are 100% from the start.

Hopefully they'll continue the exemptions for specialty bulbs, otherwise someone is going to try to put an LED in their oven light socket, and find a nasty surprise the first time they use the oven...

[SaxxonWoods]

No CFLs here but I have one LED light in the laundry room that came with the house. It’s horrible, flickers constantly.

[tet68]

Why can’t they just let us buy the bulbs we want ???
F’n communists!

[MtnClimber]

I TOTALLY agree! Remove all dim bulbs!

[Codeflier]

Can you even buy them now? That was one of the fastest product life cycles ever. LED blew them out of the water in about 5 years.

[G Larry]

Ha! We’ve still got a 40 year supply of the old standard bulbs....

[the_Watchman]

When it was cold outside we would turn on an incandescent lamp to take the chill off a room. Now, we just have to turn up the thermostat.

Guess which takes less energy!

[ConservativeInPA]

This is non of Biden’s or the government’s business. They pick winners and losers while subverting people’s free choice. They are commies, plain and simple and work against the free market.

The only good commie is a dead commie.

Christmas lighting will become a thing of the past.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I wonder which one of Jo Jo’s moronic Homo Snowflakes or Evil Disney Princesses came up with this idea. Those bass turds need to get a life.

[KarlInOhio]

the standard would be more than doubled to more than 120 lumens per watt. Commonplace 60-watt equivalent lightbulbs would only require a maximum of 6.5 watts,

The first set of LED bulbs I found on Lowe's had these specs:

60 Watt replacement using only 8.5 Watts (760 lumens)

Or about 90 lumens per watt. So modern LED bulbs will have to be replaced with more expensive ones. Right now LED bulbs are so cheap to run that I don't bother turning them off when I leave the room like I had been trained to from childhood. I also do things like leave porch lights on all night that I never would have done with 60 W incandescens.

I wonder how much of the typical household electric bill is lighting with current LED bulbs? How much will a 25% decrease in electricity usage on that part really save?
