But will they be any good in light fixtures that only accept 60 watts? because the next step is already in the process - mandating light fixtures/lamps that can only take up to 60 watts

What business is it of the government how much light we wish to use in our own homes? We’re PAYING the electric bill, aren’t we? What’s next? Outlaw ovens and mandate microwaves? Jigger cars so that they’ll turn off if some government prick thinks we’re driving too far? Or just outlaw our cars entirely if they’re too old to be “environmentally friendly”?
I am angrier about this than I was about the immigration bill, and I guess at the root of that is the feeling that MY side... excuse me, OUR side... you know, the side that’s supposed to be standing up for Truth, Justice and the American way is just as bad as those demented, evil cretins on the RAT side.
And, yes, I DO blame George W. Bush. And yes, he didn’t write the bill. But he did sign it. And I don’t care if it DOES fund the war. In fact, if it was a choice between taking away our right to have light bulbs (I can’t even believe I’m TYPING that!) and taking away the war funding - I’d choose to take away the war funding in a heartbeat. Then make a speech and explain to the American public WHY, and have congress re-write a bill that didn’t invade our homes and tell us what products we could or could not buy in the name of some environmental insanity. But Bush, as with the “campaign finance bill”, took the easy way out, and decided that screwing America was the easier course of action.
LEDs are less than 5 watts usually. They are far more efficent than CFLs.
