One my precious incandescent bulb in the bathroom blew out. Got 2 bulbs left and since they state not to use CFLs in the bathroom I don't. I need newly made old school 75 watter in the squatter room.
We got white chocolate in the white house who can bring back the "soft white". It'll bring back jobs and I'm sure there were advances in incandescent technologies.

Did yellow peril just link the incandescent light bulb ban to our former milk chocolate president on the last day of black history month???

Do have 4 fluorescent bulb type lights in the garage.
Have changed two rental houses to all L.E.D. Folks KNOW reduces their electric charges and gives them more light,, ie> more money in my pocket.
In addition the city's lighting in the central park is L.E.D. pole/floodlights. Bet they will replace the street lights with L.E.D.s when the old Sodium light burn out.
The only thing incandescent bulbs are good for is throwing in the pond and sinking them will a well placed shot.[:D]
Only thing I use them for nowadays is as a heat source in my pumphouse in the winter time
The crappy quality incandescent bulbs available now won't last2 months in my well house. I hooked up some heat tape with a thermostat to control it about three years ago. No worries now.
You can quote me on that.

Yosh, replace em with LED bulbs, they even have a "soft white" version now. They're cooler, brighter, use less power, and you don't need to call a Calif hazmat team out if you break one.[:)]
This! ^^^^^
I have replaced all the bulbs in my house and camper with LED's. My electric bill has dropped some and the camper batteries last MUCH longer.

I had my grandson in law put a new heavy duty bulb in my well pit in early Dec. and he had to replace it in Jan. Its out now but its been so warm I don't need a new one.
I used to put the old ones in Down there in Nov. and they were still working in April when I took them out.

If you just want the heat and don't need the light, go to a pet shop that stocks for reptiles. They stock bulbs that put out heat only, no light,and last forever.
I thought about those 130 volt "rough duty"? But I seen on youtube that they're crappy and blow out even quicker. They also don't put out the wattage as printed.
I wish they'd smuggle some bulbs in with illegals or dope. Never thought I'd have to look for incandescent light bulbs from a seller in an ally way [:D].
