Sooooo.........no more 'regular' light bulbs after 2014. One plant has already closed.
The LED bulbs are SUPER expensive.....can be triple the CFL....and they (cfl's) aren't cheap.
CFL's are becoming more 'moderately' priced BUT:
1. shouldn't be used where the light is turned off and on often
2 shouldn't be used in the bathroom or anywhere moisture is
3. shouldn't be used where they could get broken or in a kid's room as they have MERCURY in them
4. they won't FIT in many of my lights/lamps unless I take the covers off (IE: kitchen ceiling --bedroom lamps)
Can someone kindly tell me what they expect us to do????
I don't know at what point you won't be able to buy them anymore but maybe I should START STOCKPILING!!!
I have a bathroom with no windows and have BURNED through about $20 worth of the CFL's already..........I leave my door open when I shower but I am not real keen about peeing in the dark!!!
And I just had a thought yesterday.............what about the small appliance bulbs? What will I use in my garage door opener when it burns out??? I ALREADY have no lamp shade on my lamp in the bedroom...........as it won't fit with the CFL on it.
WHAT IS EVERYONE ELSE DOING????
