I cursed W for the bulb ban (DHS, et al). However, LED bulbs get way less hot.

And in SFL that matters a LOT.

.
When LEDs fail they can be a fire hazard.

We’ve had two close calls with them. They arc internally, and you can only tell from the odor that it is happening.

That's not the point.

The govmint has no business telling us what kind of light bulbs we can get.

One of our nation’s crony capitalists’ finest moments.
This was driven by GE. Seems incandescent bulbs weren’t profitable enough for GE.

GE’s Immelt is a dyed in the wool fascist.
President Trump needs to tread lightly dealing with people of such low caliber as Immelt.

Fact!

I got rid of most of my 100 watt bulbs. I have mostly LED's, with a few CFL's, and I don't miss them one bit, although the 100 watt equivalent LED's are pricey.

My EZ Bake oven doesn't seem to work as well with an LED though, LOL.
