You must admit, this hoarding of LIGHT BULBS, is a little nutty. How many 8 tracks do you have, Beta max tapes, dial telephones, tube type B&W TVs, wringer washing machines. Does your car have a “crank” sticking out the front? Does the “ice man” still bring ice for your ice box?
Don't be mad, only meant in a spirit of pointed humor.
It may be a minority, but it definitely exists, that are badly bothered by the spectrum of fluorescent lamps of any kind.
It’s weirder than that - I market commercial/industrial lighting. But our new products are waaaay ahead of the curve environmental curve - and they work.
Your examples refer to improvements.
Perhaps you haven't noticed, as you are so caught up in laughing, but fluorescents are not an improvement over incandescents. So you see, every one of your examples is completely wrong. Perhaps you should wipe the snot from your nose, and reflect on the deeper issue of a socialist scientific fraud being perpetuated across a civilization in order to deny it functional technology and erect a regulatory apparatus designed to completely eradicate small business.
So you see, the issue is rather important, and the 100 watt bulbs are in fact a very decisive abuse point being used byt the government to impact millions of lives is an utterly useless way - except for its humiliation training.
Of course, these are subtleties far beyond your high school level of smiling insults, and brazenly false denials of intentional contempt. But hey, don't be mad, this is only meant in a spirit of pointed rebuttal.
please point out which of these items the government ordered us to replace....shower heads, toilets., yes....neither for a good reason. But your list is a perfect example of letting people decide for themselves to either purchase one item or the other. You can't buy new 8 tracks anymore because people switched to casettes and to discs so the manufacturer stopped making 8 tracks, not because the gov't ordered it, but because he wanted to stay in business.....that's called free enterprise...or even capitalism (horrors), maybe we won't all be equal!!
You will be able to buy incandescent light bulbs after January 1, 2012. 75, 60 and 40 watt incandescents will remain on the shelves until January 1, 2014, as well as a variety of specialty bulbs including three-ways, colored lamps, plant lights and appliances lights. Manufacturers are also working on making incandescents that have higher luments per watt capacity. -Is there really going to be a ban on incandescent light bulbs?
