Or is it because most bulbs were GE and the GE CEO works for Obama and they no longer make the inc bulbs.
Gonna check my store next time out.
I’ve bought incandescents in WalMart & Target recently.
FWIW, I bought a handful of LED bulbs at Home Depot(Cree, "assembled in America", according to the package) and have been satisfied, so far. Pros: They cost almost nothing to run, have a 10 year warranty, and should last for about 20 years. Cons: They're 20 bucks apiece.
I figure that they'll pay for themselves in 2 years or so. We'll see. If nothing else, I'll appreciate not needing to climb around on a ladder changing bulbs every couple of months.
If LEDs continue to work OK, I'll go through my stash of incandescents, and start migrating the rest over.
Look hard and you can find 60’s, 40’s and some 75’s and 3-ways.
100’s are pretty much gone from the big boxes tho some smaller real hardware/ seed and feed stores carry them. I have a stock of 100’s because they are by gawd NOT going to TELL me what to use and not use.
I am working on my 60’s now because that IS the one I use the most. I do not want to lose access tot hose!!! Also appliance bulbs like for the range/fridge. Unfortunately many are off brands like “Sunbeam” which don’t seem to last as long as the good OLD GE’s. My Phillips are fairly good tho...
Look: I gave the cfl’s a try. They do NOT perform as breathlessly advertised. They are a 3rd world piece of crap product that give dimmer light and do not last. LED’s I am more impressed with. But sheesh...nearly $12 is a pricey lump to chunk down.
