Default incandescent light bulb phase-out in the U.S. (are flood bulbs exempt?)

Good God, you're stupid. What is hard about *ugly* to understand?
The light from many is ugly, they're slow to start but that's not the
issue, here.

The point is that they're butt ugly hanging out of fixtures where the
bulb is visible. Got it?


Beaty (and ugliness) is in the eye of the beholder.


Duh! Ya think!

Arrange your fixtures
so the spiral doesn't show, or get the CFLs with a bulb-like glass cover.
I have NO PROBLEMO with the simple CFLs I have, and neither does the boss.


The fixtures are meant to have the bulbs exposed, period. You might have
noticed that many chandeliers have the bulbs showing, as do most ceiling fan
light fixtures. They're intended to use unfrosted bulbs. Something that
would be rather difficult to manage with a CFL.
