man, this just gets closer and closer to home. what a pain. went looking for a 3 way lightbulb only to find out incandescents were banned from manufacture in july and their sale is banned this february. i guess i'll have to switch over all my bulbs to LED at some point.
i can see the same thing happening to cars in 15 years. then you won't have a choice. govt will just ban gas stations one night. total bullshit.

There's a dirty secret with LEDs. If you run them on a circuit that has any adapter plugged in, a microwave, or anything that can dirty the power, their controllers burn out. This is why these "10,000 hour" LEDs don't last as long as incandescent bulbs yet cost 10x more. They cheap out on the circuitry. They are a total ripoff.
thanks, good to know. its already complicated enough looking at CRI and color temperature.
Also heat kills them as well as dirty power. They are only good in open sockets where heat can escape, not in globes or fixtures without circulation.
