I am among the lucky few who are able to use CFLs without problems or complaints.
I envy those who can afford to buy 60 & 100W LEDs.
My theoritical 15% energy use for lighting has been reduced to less than 4%.
Whatever happened to freddom of choice?

You’d better stock up soon: 100 watt incandescent light bulbs have been illegal to manufacture since 1/1/11. If your store does not have them in stock, you are SOL.

Can you imagine what the black market on incandescents will be like. And all that lost sales tax.

"A heat lamp with a red bulb and a wooden coop my hubby built from scrap is way cheaper...lol" Sure is, but commercial chicken operations operate on a vastly different scale these days. Back in the 1950's my dad went in for "chicken farming" for a while, and we had a few hundred birds (raising chicks to friers), and thought it was a "large scale" operation. Nowadays, a "chicken farm" will have tens of thousands of birds in multiple specially designed "chicken houses". The old story of "get big or get out".
