So the government is lowering your power bill and secretly changing your bulbs so you think they're lasting longer???

I can attest to the fact that the new bulbs last much longer than the old ones with much lower energy consumption. The colour balance offers a choice of daylight white or warm white. You can also buy dimmable ones for no extra cost. And watch your energy bill go down...

That is your choice. Apparently you like having that choice made for you. I will tell you that various times I worked jobs where an incandescent bulb was a better choice than LEDs or Fluorescent bulbs. Sometimes you want that extra heat an old bulb gives off.

The ice caps ain't going to melt over my freakin light bulbs. I bet my electric bill with my old light bulbs has always been a small fraction, a microscopic fraction of what Joe Biden's electric bills are, and were.

All you against LED's about 85% of the energy of sn incandescent bulb goes for heat. Incandescent bulbs are obsolete. Why go for the old stuff? You don't cook 9n a coal stove.

This is the definition of stupidity, fighting for your right to keep things that don't make any sense.

Various times incandescent was better has nothing to do with it not being better in homes, does it? That is ridiculous arguments for the sake of arguing...people are obviously stupid enough they need these choices made for them.

Toxic: LEDs contain no mercury, but they contain other toxic and harmful substances such as arsenic, lead, nickel and copper which can harm the environment.

Try sticking one up your nether regions you little wimp.

"Quotable: Not all incandescent lightbulbs are banned
“It does not ban the sale or manufacture of ALL incandescent bulbs, just those common household incandescent (and other) bulbs that are not energy-efficient...Many bulbs, including specialty bulbs, three-way bulbs, chandelier bulbs, refrigerator bulbs, plant grow lights and others, are exempt from the law’s requirements.” —Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on its website"

And we know we can trust whatever the EPA says.

Which means that if I want to find incandescent bulbs I must search harder and PAY MORE ! Leftists like Biden make a big deal about small things, that in the big picture mean almost nothing, whilst at the same time ignoring big problems like inflation, illegal immigration, crime, and Biden falling asleep publicly.

The EPA needs to stop worrying about f**king light bulbs and start worrying about the pollution caused by illegal aliens.
