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.

That’s my situation to a tee. I bought the cache of incandescent bulbs in 60, 75, and 100 Watts. I have two large cartons full.

As LEDs got better and better, offered more features, and the price dropped, I started using them. I would not go back.

The house we bought last year has 37 recessed lighting fixtures! The LED retrofit kits are sealed agains air flow through the decorative ring and out the holes in the fixture. I’m sealing the flange against the ceiling, too, with “rope caulk,” a flexible rope-like caulk with the texture of putty that doesn’t cry out. If a unit should fail, I’ll be able to replace it easily enough.
