The clever countries are using LED instead of the old incandescents and they cut electricity bills. I guess Al is barely out of the stone age with his thinking.
In the house where I grew up, and my mother lived until her death, we had to replace an incandescent bulb at least once a month. My current home, whare I’ve learned fed for coming up on five years, is smaller, but better lit, using about 80% of the number of bulbs. So far, I’ve needed to replace roughly one bulb a year. Yeah, they’re more expensive than the incandescents we used 20 years ago. But they last a lot longer. Bags of potato chips have gone up in price even more. And they don’t last any longer.
Goodwyn continues to display those Trump Disciple analysis skills.

Goodwyn, if you publish an address to send them to, I am pretty sure you can get hundreds of incandescent bulbs sent to you. You can distribute them to all The Disciples who are devastated by having to use those woke LED lights.
I will personally pledge to send two dozen and more if I can find them.
.
I don’t think I can help the ones who want to return to picture tubes for TVs, though.
I thought leftists are pro-choice, but they want big daddy government to tell them what kind of light bulbs they must use.
They would be aghast here in Southern Europe. I’ve only seen 2 EVs, one a taxi, recycling bins are rare, and shopkeepers leave their doors wide open with the AC spilling out into the street.
THIS is your biggest complaint? McDonalds and Cargill are employing 10-year olds, and you want to complain about light bulbs.
I switched to LED years ago and haven’t had to change a bulb since. Do I miss the stack of incandescent bulbs that used to occupy space in my closet? No. The same way I don’t miss having to store screw-in fuses or baling up newspapers or having to take a horse down to the farrier. I don’t need coopers or a trunk full of road atlases, either.
Welcome to the 21st century or did you fail to realize we’d even left the 19th century?
The old color of light arguments weren’t even valid with the CFL bulbs, many were made that put out the same color light as incandescent bulbs. LED bulbs come in any color you like; if you didn’t see the sensible plastic cover that won’t break and the lack of a filament that breaks if you shake it, you’d never know you had an LED…. they cost a little more but last a LOT longer.
As for the threat of EMP, I suspect if that happened light bulbs would be the least of our worries, since there wouldn’t be any electricity to light them anyway.
Tell you what, Al. The next time you are sick, we’ll only use medical technology from 1879, the same year the incandescent bulb showed up, to help save you.
That ban was started under George W. Bush. and was supposed to be in place already.
It is silly that people are so against things. LED bulbs far more efficient, produce almost no heat, and last a lot longer. Sure, they cost a little more, but you actually save money in the long run.
‘It’s bizarre’: Wisconsin Republicans want 14-year-olds to be able to serve alcohol
Before President Ronald Reagan signed the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 into law, the drinking age varied from state to state in the U.S. Some states allowed minors to legally purchase alcohol at 18, but Reagan and members of Congress agreed that 21 should become the national standard.What still varies from state to state is how old one needs to be legally serve alcohol. Some states allow minors to serve alcohol in restaurants even though they can’t legally purchase it.
You want to use pixie dust in your light bulbs, go ahead. Knock yourself out. But if you think you’re going to force your preference on me, better ops-check the armor plating on your skivvies.
I’m not against LED bulbs, but most of them are bad for me. Cheaper LED bulbs (especially tubes) are unfiltered and emit a severe spike in the blue range. I have photophobia (extreme sensitivity to blue light) and these bulbs give me massive headaches, so I have to wear $750 glasses to counteract it. It would be great if filters were required on all LED lights.
What is with all the whining about smart bulbs? I have lived in Northern Europe and they are all the rage. Better light, lower energy costs, no hot bulbs, good for the environment. And they just might leave more power for that air conditioning you will need.

yeah, let’s use a technology that uses 4 times the energy for the same amount of light

I agree, Mr. Goodwyn: if humanity is willing to kill itself in its quest for convenience and low costs, let’s hurry the end. Why wait?
Maybe we can bring back unfiltered cigarettes. How creative can we get? I know I’m going to stop raking my forest…..
