As most of you are aware, this is the final week to purchase incandescent light bulbs, with a small list of exceptions (oven lights and such).
The original light bulb ban was initiated by the GWB Administration, with the popular 40 watt and 60 watt bulbs (lamps) being phased out, then the 75 watt, and then the 100 watt.
A second tier of restrictions was to take effect in 2020, but they were postponed by the DT Administration. Some States, like Cali, went ahead with the original plan anyway.
As I don't really like new technology, I stocked up on every bulb I currently use in my home. I estimated twenty-five years of use, blowing out three times a year, for my calculations. I plan on dying in this house, hopefully of old age in my sleep.
I bought them just before they were phased out, when I knew I could get them cheaper. Just yesterday, I bought ten packs of 25 watt bulbs.
Does anyone think this is weird? I readily admit to being slightly eccentric about certain things, but I just don't like these new LED bulbs.
Everything in my house, built 1962, is old, but that's how I like it. I still have a working 1971 oil burner gun for my water heater, my bathrooms are original (five gallon toilets), and there isn't even a single GFI outlet, although they're all grounded, which is the most important thing.
I just can't get on to LED lights. Seems lots of people couldn't, and it took the power of government to ban them. Retards claim they weren't banned, but increasing efficiency standards exponentially amounted to the same thing.
The market should decide things, not unelected bureaucrats. All this new technology isn't always better, either. The old bulbs were simple, cheap, and reliable, which you can't say about the new ones.
So what are people's thoughts on the new LED light bulbs. Are you pro, con, or couldn't care less, and why?
