As someone who only buys CFL light bulbs, I think that the government banning a product such as incandescent light bulbs is a sign that the inmates are now running the asylum.

Pass them down to your grandkids. They will be collector items.

I always buy the energy-efficient bulbs anyway. Otherwise you just waste money on your electric bill.

Dec 13th? That explains Albertsons 4 bulbs for $1 sale last week.

I prefer the CFL bulbs, especially the ones that emit light in the 6500k spectrum. Not a big fan of the soft white anymore, they're only good for mood lighting, IMO

I wonder if energy efficiency really is good for the economy. It certainly isn't good for coal miners in West Virginia or natural gas drillers in North Dakota.

Halogen bulbs are the same exact ones your car's headlights use (of course, except if you drive certain cars that use Xenon bulbs, like Lexus or Lincoln). They are brighter, use less energy, and usually produce a very nice yellow-white light. The same you see on your car
