Any other states have new laws on light bulbs this year?? I heard that MA and CT may have done the same dumb thing that we now have in CA.
As on hand stocks are depleted, you will no longer be able to buy the following incandescent light bulbs ( A-19 or flood )
150 or larger ....gone completely. substitue is 120 watt.
100 watt.....sub. is 95 watt
60 watt sub is 58 watt
40 watt sub is 38 watt
Does this really make sense? If 40 watt was dim but acceptable, and now 38 is just too dim, what the heck, give me a 58! So much for the energy saver! This is a preliminary phase to the ultimate demise of ALL incandescent by around 2012. Everything will have to be LED or CF. I think this current move was inserted by Philips, because they just happen to be in production already on the 38 and 58 what bulbs!!!
