Makes sense.

Bulb choices for consumers actually increased in 2012.


Doesn't make sense.

How did removing bulb choices increase bulb choices?


Makes perfect sense. They eliminated one type of bulb. Two or three
other types are on the shelf to replace it and, thus, more choices.

I'm using LED night lights in a couple of spots, but the regular sizes
are still not perfected just yet that I've seen. I think they will be
the light of choice in a few years.
