I heard that all incandescent bulbs will quit being produced and illegal

outdoor

said they
thought pretty much all halogen bulbs will still be available... Can
someone
there tell me what the truth actually is? What about entertainment
bulbs, like
Par 64s and 56s, and aircraft landing lights...???

We just bought 500 each of 100, 75, and 60 watt bulbs. Maybe we should
buy more.


I have 100 100s and 200 60s. That's stock for home use.

I saw some 71 watt incandescents for sale. They were energy saver
types, but I didn't buy any. Where do they come up with a number like
71 watts?

Maybe they were manufactured to a specification other than wattage rating -
and that's what they ended up as.
