Incandescent light bulb ban goes into effect August 1st…

[Leo]

I HATE reading under LED light. They are awful for detail work, like electronic circuit boards and trigger jobs on 1911's. I guess I can wire an AC adapter to my flash light, unless the fools outlawed them also.

I have bought 1/2 dozen different LED versions, they all are unsatisfactory. It is easier on the eyes to read by the glow of an open hearth steel furnace. Even the Government and the manufacturers know that LED lights are detrimental to eye health. A simple 60 watt incandescent in the lamp next to my chair is all I need, and the criminal, baby raping bastards in government are taking that away.

I spent my whole life doing the best I could and doing what was right even if it cost me a lot and now look. "I am sick and tired of taking crap from people who are inferior to me"

Our government can’t fix homelessness in the streets but they can waste their time outlawing incandescent light bulbs??? What would Thomas Edison say about this utter stupidity?

And you can thank the republican rep from Michigan for this...

Upton takes right-wing beatdown for incandescent bulb ban

When Republican choose the head of the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee, the decision may come down to light bulbs. That's right, light bulbs.

No more heating an elevator pit or other area with a single $20 200w bulb. Now you need a $2000 unit heater.

Do any of you see anything in media about folks being upset by the bulb ban? I am not. The sheeple are fat and satisfied…

People are upset.
The "news" just chooses not to report it, so " it doesn't exist".
Out of sight, out of mind...

Yes, but think about all the electricity we are saving to charge the $100,000 golf carts the democrats what to burden us with.

Just a handful of us even here seem to be even a little perturbed by this…

So where is that high temp oven LED I was promised?

You don't need an oven to cook your bugs.

Total news blackout on how bugnuts stark raving mad people have gotten.

I am perturbed by the .gov overreach part of it. 100% let the free market decide. Incandescent light bulbs would be gone from store shelves in a few more years if they just let that happen.

But still available at a price for those that wanted them…

Eff Joe Biden and every single ****ing idiot that voted for him.

I am guessing it is because there was not much if any news coverage about this. Nobody knew about it and by the time they realize that they can't buy their standard bulbs, it will be too late.

Finally a news article! https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bi...rcing-nationwide-light-bulb-bans-backlash-gop

Might try these.

I've not tried them yet but I do have several other products made by him and read his blog often. He sincerely is a lighting snob and makes top quality lighting equipment. Personally I can't tell the difference in between a warm tint LED (2200k-2700k) and an incandescent. The bright light and daylight (3000k+) has a bluish (cool) tint that is great for tactical flashlights because it's disorienting but is awful for house lighting for the very same reason.

Also this is the first I've heard of a ban on incandescent bulds. Guess I should be paying more attention.

LED flicker and can cause fatigue and damage but .gov knows best…

so, the lightbulb cartels should do well?

Should be a lot easier smuggling those light bulbs across the border than some other types of contraband, being fairly light and all……

 

[ghuns]

Surefire should market one of these on INGO.

They'd make bank...

Lie Emitting Democrat? I think we have plenty of those already

Much as I'd like to stress test their tolerance for extended high temperature, that might have to wait for the next life
