I stocked up on 25 thru 100 Watt incandescent bulbs last year. Going to get some more 100s tomorrow if they still have them on the shelf.

"Texas Gov. Rick Perry today signed a law that will free Texans from the federal government’s impending incandescent light bulb ban:

The measure, sent to Gov. Rick Perry for consideration [he subsequently signed it], lets any incandescent light bulb manufactured in Texas – and sold in that state – avoid the authority of the federal government or the repeal of the 2007 energy independence act that starts phasing out some incandescent light bulbs next year."...............

RE Getting the bulbs...
Regulation and bill updates http://ceolas.net/#li01inx
Various 3-way, rough service etc exceptions as well as Halogens, however all general service incandescents will progressively be banned in USA on EISA 45 W per lumen end-regulation specification.
Canada delay 2 years
Texas state legal make/sell since June 2011 (no manufacturing yet) 6 other states have repeal ban bills, as listed/linked

My local Wal-Mart had 16-packs of Philips 100W soft white bulbs for $3.75 about a week ago. Made in Poland, too, which was nice. I stocked up. I may go grab some more.

Do you think there will be shortages of other wattages from the elimination of the 100s?
