Why don't you just buy a couple cases of incandescants and keep them

Its funny you claim that the poster doesn't care about waste. You
see, you can toss a regular lightbulb into the trash since it is
basically safe. But the new CF bulbs are hazardous materials that
have to be handled by special licensed contractors. The contents
of those bulbs can kill you. Talk about waste...

In many areas of the USA, households are still allowed to dump CFLs into
regular trash.
