[QUOTE="Ernest Graham, post: 9345, member: 4761"] I searched the forum and looked around for a solid answer online with no luck. Is anyone aware of an incandescent lightbulb ban going into effect on January 1st 2014? From what I have gathered the "ban" consists of EPA regulations mandating that all lightbulbs manufactured in the US after 2014 must meet minimum energy efficiency standards. This apparently means that 60 and 100 watt incandescent bulbs will no longer be manufactured, leaving us with two options. Horde incandescent bulbs before its too late and hope for the best or switch to an alternative and sell out your obsolete inventory while you still can. I don't actually believe that I will have a problem sourcing bulbs for my rig, but I would like to know if anyone is aware of anything concrete...
