Brighter-Ideas-R-Us : CFL Light Bulbs - Are They Worth The Switch !?!
 
Bulbtown dot com has commen incandescents for 50 cents each.
I bought several years supply.
Also a dozen 'appliance' bulbs for range and fridge.
And some S11 profile E17 base 10watt incandescents for hobby (Keystone
stereocard viewer).

I wonder if there are going to be exemptions for specialty bulbs?
Let's say slide projector 500 watts lamps?
There isn't going to be LED and CFL for those old timers.
And ditto for those teeny size 49 for Philco radio dials?
Well, they're incandescents!

Nobody's going to take away your little light bulbs. However, one
wonders why you want to throw money away lighting your rooms.

As long as energy is priced fairly (i.e. remove all subsidies including
military support for stealing oil from poor people and bribes) the true
cost will steer people toward efficiency. There is no need to go door to
door.

(BTW: they already know how wasteful you are. They scan your house with
remote sensing and analyze your billing. They are ostensibly looking for
"indoor grows" but they are gathering data patterns in general, as well.

We can only pray that this rediculous law will be overturned. Maybe in
2012+.

I switched to CFL bulbs a long time ago and have never looked back. I
was going through incandescent bulbs like crazy. It drove me nuts to
be replacing bulbs all the time. I switched to CFL bulbs many months
ago and have yet to replace one. I don't know if they'll last as long
as the marketing info says they will, but they last one heck of a lot
longer than incandescent bulbs. And *zero* RFI.
