Default Constitutionality of light bulb ban questioned - EnvironmentalProtection Agency must be called for a broken bulb

The bill did _not_ "ban" incandescent bulbs, it set minimum efficiency
standards.

I'm not taking a position, but if it isn't constitutional, neither are
CAFE standards for automobiles or most any other regulations regarding
performance levels of any product (say drug effectiveness, for another
example).
