"has come under pressure from manufactures..."

China is complaining?

Pretty much every incandescent light bulb you find at a retailer will say "Made in China".

Along with all the LED and fluorescent ones.

So much for my plans to be a black market bulb millionaire. I bought a couple dozen 100 watt bulbs when they were being outlawed.

Once I switched to LEDs I didn't switch back. The only incandescents I have are in closets and the fridge. The only thing I miss are the way old bulbs would attract flies and kill them in the fixtures. Now they survive to bug me.

Shake them just a little bit too hard & it’s all over.
Can’t keep one working in a auto work light.

That's because the last major US manufacturer of incandescent bulbs, GE, closed its plant in Sept. 2010 thanks to the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act.
