I f’ing hate these new bulbs. They feel like they suck your soul out of your body.

OMG, I’m glad I happened to see this on FR. I’d forgotten more bulbs are going extinct. Will buy more now before the end.

since regular bulbs’convert 95% of energy to heat, and only 5% to light, could one not reclassify them as heaters that also incidentally give off light?

The CFL bulbs contain Uptonite.

This is SO stupid!
I especially need to stock up on candelabra bulbs.
This annoys me to no end and I don’t like having to use up shelf space hoarding dang light bulbs.

Here in Seattle, I can legally sell marijuana, but I can go to jail for selling the wrong kind of light bulbs.

Some people need full spectrum light bulbs, especially in the winter.

I purchased 5 of the new LED light bulbs today (Lowes brand) and I have to say I am very impressed. They put out 60w and only use 13w and they are bright! Much warmer light than I expected. If they last half as long as they claim it will be worth it.
Probably going to go LED in the house as well considering my kids have never turned a light out!

I remember putting a 100 watt bulb in one of those light bulb holders with a hook and laying it inside my car hood when the temps were really cold. That kept the engine warm enough to start up, which it did not do without the heat from that bulb. Guess I couldn’t do that with these new bulbs.

I never liked the CFL’s but the LEDs are awesome and pull a lot less current.
Regardless of whether it should be regulated, probably shouldn’t, it is the direction as a consumer I am headed in anyway.

The incandescent light bulbs I use are for my outside buildings. Who cares if they give off heat. They are there to light the night.

This is liludicrous. Incandescent light bulbs have their use jus like any other product. What about infrared bulbs? I dont get it.
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
Nobody really complained about Congress telling us what kind of toilets we had to use, so what’s the big deal with light bulbs?..../s
