Default GE stops making its iconic bulb in the U.S.


"Jon Danniken" wrote

All joking aside, I am seriously considering stockpiling at least 100
boxes of bulbs. Probably get 70 boxes of 60W, 30 boxes of 40W.

That'd give me 400 bulbs, for about a hundred bucks. Should last the rest
of my life.

Would take a bit of space to store them, though. I wonder how they would
do in an attic?

It will work, but makes no sense at all. I'd have agreed with you some
years ago, but I've been changing to CFL and like the light output now. Not
the sickly green of the past. And they save energy. If you get rid of your
old notions and try new bulbs, you may be surprised.
