light bulbs

[subprep]

the banning time is upon us. Im in a rage because I FECKING hate CFL bulbs. But what I hate more is some govt ass telling me what I can or cannot have in my home because some dipshit said global warming is happening and lightbulbs are killing the planet. Last I checked it was snowing in Cairo.

I'm with ya. Those new bulbs trigger migraines in me. I want my incandescent bulbs ...

Oh ... and on a lighter, brighter (albeit more conducive to the global warming argument -- until tonight anyway ) note, play hooky today! It's gonna be spectacular weather! I'm off to clean up the chicken and rabbit pens before the cold, wet weather gets here ... again ...

Just switch to candle power.

Just switch to candle power.

I would almost rather have that then florescent anything. There isn't enough outrage about this. Everyone would just rather give up another freedom and roll over and take it like a little ***** because "its just a lightbulb"

My father stockpiled the incandescent ones for the past. 2 years. I'll start the budding at $5 a bulb. BB I'll let you have em for $4.95

Incandescent bulbs suck six ways from Sunday. That is unless you LIKE replacing them often and paying more to operate them.

You will still be able to buy incandescent bulbs in the future.
There is a little loophole in the law. It exempts "rough service" bulbs. They are even made on the USA.

Yep,me too. Having seen the writing on the wall, I started stocking up on those bulbs a couple years ago
when they said they wouldn't be available much longer. Just like anything else, I'm glad I did because I
despise the CFL bulbs also. At least they were cheaper than ammo to stock up on. And when one breaks
I don't have to call a hazmat team in for clean up or worry bout the dog lapping up some mercury from the floor.

I don't like the .gov deciding what we, as consumers, can use - BUT, I have been happily switching to LED bulbs at my house...


The .gov is funny, BAN light bulbs, Use Tax dollars to deter cigarette use.

LOL ... You are a true friend after all ... I would have figured I'd have to get them for $5.50 seeing as I'm biased and GC has such a hefty retirement package coming his way ...
