Default In 2012, will I be able to order round light bulbs from Canada or some other foreign country or will they be illegally manufactruing round light bulbs and selling them on the internet?

What about those small light bulbs that are a 1/4 of the size of
regular light bulbs that are used for chandeliers


Those will still be legal, as will those for fixtures where the bulb
is exposed as part of the aesthetic look, requiring the bulb to be
clear instead of soft white or something similar.


AIUI, not if the bulb is a Edison medium-base regular clear light bulb, as all
mine are.

Look for parts of the law to be repealed once the general public
discovers that compact fluorescent light bulbs aren't technologically
ready (mainly in that they don't last as long as advertised and don't
last long at all if they are often turned on for 15 minutes or less).


Which almost all of ours are (turned on for 15 minutes or less). Only the
kitchen lights run longer.
