So, the problem is easily solved. Buy incandescents

Better move quickly.

The "Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007" applies performance
standards to incandescent bulbs which supposedly will effectively ban
them in a few years.

I've tried to read it but it consists mainly of a lot of edits to
existing regulations, like this:

(1) DEFINITION OF GENERAL SERVICE INCANDESCENT LAMP- Section 321(30) of
the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6291(30)) is amended--
(A) by striking subparagraph (D) and inserting the following:
bla bla bla ...

so it's not clear to me exactly what's going on.

Still, there's the "Light Bulb Freedom of Choice Act", H.R.5616, which
claims to "repeal of the phase out of incandescent light bulbs."
