[Dr. Sivana]

When your great great grandfather died, did he have a closet full of buggy whips?

There was no need to outlaw buggy whips to make them obsolete. If anything is likely to go obsolete, it would be florescnts themselves, replaced by LEDs. BTW, my sister-in-law has a condition that makes her sensitive to florescents, giving her severe headaches.

And ESL bulbs will make LEDS bulbs obsolete.
