The 40-watt equivalent LED I bought yesterday is dimmable.
The market is moving very quickly. Real-time, prices are falling so fast you can see it happen.
All this bureaucratic crap will be moot, faster than many realize.
They really don’t care that you can use a LED for the same price, in fact, they’ll probably go after that soon on some trumped up environmental reason.
The point is to have you shivering in the dark and under their control.
