The ban on 75-watt bulbs takes effect January 1st, 2013.

I bought 200 (100 clear and 100 frosted) 100W bulbs last summer (and
have 300, or so, clear 60W bulbs), so I'm alright there. I need to
lay in some 40s, though. The dining room lamp is a tad bright with
the nine 60W bulbs.


Frankly I prefer the CFLs and my lower electric bill and look forward
to cost effective LEDs I DONT understand all the complaints.......


I also enjoy the lower cost of CFLs in, for instance, the living room
and in my bedroom, as these lights tend to stay on for hours at a time.

In the bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, and hallway, however, I
absolutely prefer incandescent, because they come on to full brighness
within a fraction of a second.

I leave some cfls on continuously. I also leave some DIY LEDs on
continuously. The LEDs run off old comcast telephone battery system.
