[QUOTE="Rob Timmerman, post: 109593, member: 172"] Re: Incandescent Lightbulb "ban" 2014 That would be the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Independence_and_Security_Act_of_2007]Energy Independance and Security Act of 2007[/url] (full text [url=http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-110hr6enr/pdf/BILLS-110hr6enr.pdf]here (pdf)[/url]. This law (among many other energy efficiency measures) set minimum efficacy standards for general service incandescent lamps and a few other types of commonly used inefficent lamps for which there were already commercial alternatives. The full details can be found on pages 82-98 of the linked PDF. 100W incandescents were phased out 2 years ago, 75W incandescents were phased out last year, and 40W and 60W incandescents cease manufacture at the end of this year. And by "phased out" I mean that manufacture has ceased, not that sale has ceased. [/QUOTE]
