LEDs use a fraction of the energy an incandescent bulb. They also last a lot longer. For those complaining about brightness, why havent you already put in dimmers? We even put in smart dimmers, so we just tell Alexa to turn a light on or off or what percent to turn the bulb to. We rarely ever have an LED at 100%.
I’d recommend looking more into what you can do with dimmable LEDs instead of lobbying to bring back an expensive, outdated technology.
Steve, I think they simply want the government out of the way of the marketplace. The problem was the government mandate…not whether someone magically decides what is in or out of date. I like to have both incandescent bulbs (for the heat they generate) and LED bulbs around (for the savings they generate), and I don’t particularly care for government telling me that my use of them is “out-of-their-decided-date”. The market place will determine if they are marketable – not governments. The term “old technology” is an arbitrary term and is subjective, and you know it. And if I decided to market incandescent lights to a niche customer base who loves incandescent bulbs, it is neither the government’s place, nor yours, to tell me that I cannot service that market and make a living doing so. The market would determine if I continue selling the bulbs. This is Amerca – if there is a market for antiques (including incandescent bulbs), then only the market should see to it that the business continues or fails – not commie greenie petty tyrants that claim the planet will blow up if we continue using incandescent bulbs. This is neither the old Soviet Union, nor outdated Climate-Cult Fantasy Island. This is America. My two cents. 
I can agree with most of that. I’m not trying to “tell” anyone anything, just offering some alternative viewpoints. But the laws of supply and demand take over too. If sales of old technology (yes it is old) drop so low, manufacturers will quit making them. I wish you the best to locate the bulbs you need. 
yes we do 
Ban the LED’s for cars. I go blind from all these overly bright lights. It’s so dangerous!
Side from saving energy Freedom lies in choice, yet LED bulbs risk it, smart tech can covertly override security, raising privacy concerns. Manufactured abroad, they exemplify unseen tools of surveillance, and other methods of concern
You can get LED lights in any color level you want. And today’s LED lights end up being way cheaper overall.
Do you use the LEDS year round outside?
Yes, I use infrared LED arrays, but mostly keep it dark outside.
Let the people decide what kind of lighting they prefer. There are many applications where inexpensive filament bulbs are a better choice.
YES! The lighting was nicer and the new bulbs cause eye damage!
Most LED lights cause me eye pain. We deserve a choice.
I agree about the incandescents bulbs… We should have the choice in which light bulbs without being penalized
Not really. In an oven or other really high heat use. But not many other places. They work well gor raising chicks also. But almost everywhete else, the LED is better. But. I also agree there should be the choice. People must be allowed to choose their own poison.
Agreed! The new CFLs and LED lights are bad for our brains! Not to mention those halogen headlights that blind other drivers at night.
i just bought some at Ace Hardware. it took months to find them.
No one thinks. The blue led light is bad for you. Buy warm light, 2000 kelvin. Candle light is 1800. Blue is 6000 and over. When you’re indoors, you should be winding down for bed anyways.
Absolutely! They were less expensive and i find that all of these new bulbs don’t last nearly as long as we were promised they would. Disposal requirements are also unreasonable.
Agreed. I bought several cases of LED lights when they first came out at high prices and promises of 20+ year life span because I knew that, although the price would come down, the mfgrs would also find a way to limit the LED arrays within to burn out after X hours. I am still using the same bulbs I first screwed in 8 years ago and havent even touched the others. Now, when I go into Home Depot, etc. and look on the boxes, the bulbs only promise 7 years or less ‘shelf life’, just like I anticipated…gradually coming down just like the stunt they pulled with the incandescents. If they wanted to, they can bring back the incandescents to have 20 year life spans as well. Unfortunately, it is a hard sell to them because they want you to keep coming back to them for new bulbs.
They also enable Li-Fi/Lidar to further infringe upon our civil liberties., spy, collect data, listen, map, track and transmit EMF’s and radio waves that affect the human body. Nefarious and without full informed consent.
