You could have still bought the old fashioned ones...just the rough service type ($$$ wise v. cheap ones comes out equal - 2x cost but last 2x longer).
But still, now we can more easily choose as we see fit instead of commies telling us what to choose.
I've got a lot of dimmable switches in my house and the energy saving leds that are dimmable are expensive as fuck and often cheaply made enough they don't last long enough to save me any significant money if any. Regular led bulbs aren't dimmable and just blow out uber fast on a dimmable switch.
I got dimmable LEDs .. they like to hum.
Great.
