“Other than that, I’ll stick to regular incandescent bulbs.”
And what will you do when the light bulb police , big brother, comes knocking on your door? will you still stick with those incandescent bulbs? I feel like I’m living a nightmare. I never thought I’d see the day In America where the government would ban light bulbs . We are going to be a socialist state soon and all standing in bread lines.
Since my store doesn't carry these bulbs, I would have to special order them, which works in my favor since all employees get special orders at 10% above cost, knocking the price down considerably.
And speaking of the light bulb police, have you seen what they've done with ceiling fan lights? All ceiling fans manufactured after January 1, 2007 are equipped with candelabra-based (small base) light fixtures.
The "official" reason given for this change is that people were putting too heavy of a wattage of bulb in their fans and were starting fires. If this were true, however, wouldn't these same people be doing the same thing in their regular light fixtures? Most of the older ceiling fan light kits were equipped with ceramic sockets, which were capable of handling bulbs up to 100 watts in strength, while most regular fixtures have plastic sockets that are barely capable of handling a 60 watt bulb and usually burn out after just a couple of years.
Now, given the two, which do you think is the greater fire danger?
