I understand that "specialty bulbs" such as refrigerator lights are not covered under the ban. It applies primarily to bulbs you need for reading and other modern civilization activities. Then again, perhaps it's worth the elevated level of inconvenience to PROTECT THE PLANET from human beings (i.e., virtue signalling; and there's a lot of that going around these days!)

Well, before the lights go out I'd better finish up my phrase search of the U.S. Constitution to at least have a legal reference for where "incandescent lightbulbs" are specifically included in the enumerated powers of the federal government ... likely "incandescent lightbulbs" are tacitly covered in the ever-growing "penumbra" of "promote the general welfare," a serious concern which the Founders warned of. Cheers!

Article 666 of the Constitution states that the document expires in 2021—from that point forward .gov can do whatever it wants.
