For those of you who still like plain old bulbs
for certain applications,
I was at HD last night and they have standard
100W incandescent bulbs from Phillips....

16 for $3!

That's right, Sixteen for $3. I couldn't believe it
and loaded up. They had 60 Watt ones too.

That's cheaper than the Dollar Tree I saw yesterday, four fer a buck.

Maybe they are unloading stock before the law takes effect?

I think they were gone a long time ago... GE shutdown the last US
production not long after the ban legislation passed didn't they?

I know they toyed w/ trying to meet the new efficiency reqm'ts for a
while but gave it up as impractical after a while and quite an investment.

yeah, i was buying the USA ones at walmart as recently as 2 weeks ago,
but they were interspersed with the furrin' ones. i suspect they were
just warehouse leftovers. I've got over 400 of them now. I probably
have enough anyway.

how is it that others will meet the efficiency requirements and GE couldn't?
Could it be lack of investment in research?

a) I'm unaware of anybody who has done same w/ an incandescent or is
even attempting to, and

b) Look up the amounts published(+) they did spend on the project before
finally pulling the plug

(+) I'd also expect that those numbers are only a fraction of the

so phillips and satco can make the cut, but GE can't?

I couldn't find the amount spent on research. can you provide a link?

Serious question. What use is there for 100w incandescent bulbs? We had
a couple in places like the basement but they were replaced some years
ago with CFLs that work fine.

How about outside my front door, where I don't
want to wait 5 mins for it to put out light when it's
cold? Or how about a closet where I only use
it for 2 mins once a week and want light
instantly and a 20 cent bulb is more cost
effective than a $3 one? Or for a decorative
fixture where I think it looks better with the
light from an incandescent? Or for other
applications where I'm tired of the crap shoot
in buying CFLs, not knowing how fast they
will come up to brightness, how long they
will last before they crap out, which in my
experience for many is nowhere near the
number of years claimed. Or maybe I'm
just an environmental extremist and believe
the mercury in them will ruin the planet.
Any of them good enough?

I'd say this discussion is like talking to folks that
can't understand there are some applications that
an ordinary old incandescent is well suited to.
Like my example of an outside location, where I
turn it on for 5 mins once in a blue moon and don't
want to wait 5 mins for a CFL on a cold night. And
where I'm not going to
pay $15 for an LED that's going to be exposed
to moisture, etc and will probably fail long before
that magical 40,000 hour number that some
folks will just swallow because it's printed on the
box.

You COULD put a CFL in the porch light and have it driven by a
light-sensitive switch. Leave it on all the time. It would deter evil-doers
lurking in your yard, all the ready for mischief. It would welcome visitors
who would not stumble on your darkened steps.

'Course it would cost an itty-bit more, but what's a few bucks when we're
talking about your safety or that of your mother-in-law?

I've got TEN surrounding my duplex. So far, I've not been troubled by a
midnight goblin or a rickety mother-in-law.

Very true! A major complaint by those folks is that incandescent
bulbs waste energy in the form of heat. But that is exactly why I use
them in a well pump house. The heat is enough to keep the pipes and
tank from freezing. And it is saving energy when you compare 100w
from a bulb versus 600-1500w from a heater. But those close minded
liberal tree huggers just can't see beyond their own little world.

Excuse me ****wit, but I have NOT rejected CFLs
All I have done is point out that they are not well
suited for ALL applications. And that when you
buy one, you really don't know what the light will
look like, how long it takes to warm up and put
out light, how much you can really dim it, etc.

It's amazing that some ****wits think CFLs are
ideally suited to ALL applications and anyone who
dares raise objections is just stupid. Maybe it's because
all they have is one bulb in their trailer and don't give
a damn how it looks, how long it takes to put out
light, etc. These same ****wits would probably
think it great if the govt decided they should all
eat tofu five times a week and forced that down
their throats too.

Isn't using 100 watt bulbs in a closet and in outside home light a

the cause was found to be a 100w bulb in a outside residential fixture.

Sorry that you have a limited imagination and can't imagine how leaving
a fixture on all the time on an old house with old dry siding and crappy
wiring could be a problem. Maybe they could fire all of the state police
fire marshals and lab folks and just have you stop over and declare "I
can't see how this fire started"?

Any of them good enough?

Isn't using 100 watt bulbs in a closet and in outside home light a
little risky? *There was a house fire right down the road from us and
the cause was found to be a 100w bulb in a outside residential fixture.

I have found that the cheepo CFLs have all of the issues.- Hide quoted text -

OK, so now you're obviously a troll.

Jesus Christ! It's 2012! Time to toss those incandescents in the trash!
Even the Amish people are using LED headlights and tail lights on their
buggys now.

A lousy attempt at trolling. Try again.

Did your mother drop you on your head when you were little?

I hope you don't think that now we have to "prove" that items have
legitimate uses. In a free country, we should do what we want, and can
afford to pay for. It's not the government's place to decide what has
"legitimate lighting purpose".

What's next? Having all our outgoing emails censored and approved, for
legitimate communication purpose?

Serious question. What use is there for 100w incandescent bulbs? We had
a couple in places like the basement but they were replaced some years
ago with CFLs that work fine.

I hope you have good justification for that statement.

I was at HD last night and they have standard

16 for $3!

That's right, Sixteen for $3. I couldn't believe it
and loaded up. They had 60 Watt ones too.

We have a couple of lamps that we use for general illumination and reading.
If we are away in the evening, I like to dim them down to have a little
light instead of coming into a dark house. They also act to make the house
look occupied when we are out. Just enough light to make it seem as if
someone was there.

Been thru this over and over...

Primarily outside in cold temperature applications where the warmup
period is excessive (or it's so cold they won't light at all). My
particular application is the barn when having calving or the like at
2AM and it's bitter cold and not in a very good mood anyway I'll be d-d
if I'm going to wait to see anything--and the heat doesn't do any harm
besides. As another suggested, if my stash of 100's runs out, I'll just
move up to 150's that aren't under the ban (yet, anyway).
