Date: August 1st, 2023 3:13 PM Author: Arousing hominid dog poop It’s Official: Stores Can No Longer Sell Most Incandescent Lights New efficiency rules, more than a decade in the making, have taken effect, relegating Edison’s glowing orbs to the history books.
Aug. 1, 2023Updated 2:47 p.m. ET
It’s the end of an era. In America, the incandescent light is no more (with a few exceptions).
Under new energy efficiency rules that took effect Tuesday, shoppers in the United States will no longer be able to purchase most incandescent bulbs, marking the demise of a technology patented by Thomas Edison in the late 1800s.
Taking their place are LED lights, which — love them or hate them — have already transformed America’s energy landscape.
They’ve driven down electricity demand in American homes, saving people money. And by using less power, LEDs have also helped lower the nation’s emissions of greenhouse gases, which warm the planet and are a major cause of climate change. (LED stands for light emitting diodes.)

Date: August 1st, 2023 3:52 PM Author: Nofapping doctorate they cost 3x as much as normal lightbulbs yet don't actually last any longer and don't seem to produce any noticeable savings in my electric usage. plus they're a pain in the ass if you have dimmers and they do weird shit like flicker on and off or only light up halfway when they're on the way out instead of just straight up dying like a respectable lightbulb.

the fact that they dont die after 2 yrs of 24/7 usage seems superior than an old incandescent bulb |

Date: August 1st, 2023 3:56 PM Author: Nofapping doctorate you should just start shoplifting already.
plenty of regular bulbs last that long or longer and plenty of LED bulbs crap out after a few months. Thinking about it now, I've never changed my bathroom lightbulbs in 8 years. |

I have 2 14k lumen shoebox lights outside I just leave on 24/7/365 because the lights have a 15k hour life cycle.
before with mercury/whatever lights I could never afford to do that. |
