PM: Joe Biden has implemented a plan to ban incandescent light bulbs from consumer purchase starting on August 1, 2023, a reversal of a Trump administration policy that allowed Americans to choose what kinds of light bulbs they wanted to buy.
According to Fox News Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said last year, “The lighting industry is already embracing more energy efficient products, and this measure will accelerate progress to deliver the best products to American consumers and build a better and brighter future.
Fox news reports that Biden’s ban on bulbs his administration deems energy inefficient is part of his larger climate change policy. The mandate bans halogen bulbs leaving consumers to purchase more LED or light-emitting diode lamps.
In April 2022, the Department of Energy (DOE) adopted the policy that aims to prohibit the retail sale and purchase of incandescent light bulbs and started discouraging the sale at that time. more
I thought the Halfrican had already done that?
Biden’s bulb burned out long ago, but his far-left handlers are full of ideas to destroy what’s left of America.
Meh. I already have a lifetime supply of 65/100W bulbs. In retrospect, sort of a rash move on my part now that LEDs are viable but I was determined that the big, stupid government wasn’t going to dictate my lighting choices to me.
Edison bulbs are still better–they emit warm light, both in temperature and in light quality.
Next he needs to sign an Executive Oder prohibiting mentally unqualified people from serving in office.
Did I miss the “Household Appliances” section in the enumerated powers of the Executive Branch in the Constitution?
…I don’t think the Founders had this vision of an overweening Federal Government at ALL, let alone one putatively controlled by a neurosyphilitic demented pedophile usurper…
Thankyou to the 81,000,000
Well, they do love to keep us in the dark about what they’re really doing.
I’m glad that LED technology came in so quick to make CFLs obsolete. What a cluster that was – Save the planet by polluting it with mercury!…
I don’t have a problem with LEDs as long as their actual lifetime and energy use justifies the additional cost over incandescent.
By the way – any incandescent bulbs you can still buy have pathetic life expectancy, regardless what the carton says.
My worry is that automobile bulbs are part of this ban. I can’t find that info in any article. Does anyone know?
In the past, people with good eyesight would not need reading glasses until late in their 40’s.
With all the artificial light, electronics, and screwed up light spectrum people’s eyes will be fucked up by the time they reach their 20’s.
I’d really love to shove 10 pounds of broken glass up the ass of that cocksucker joe biden*
So what’s the dimmer bulb, incandescent or xiden?
Incandescent light bulbs are probably still made in America and we can’t have that.
We have to buy 汉语/漢語 bulbs.
Put a new utility sink in my garage yesterday (Costco sale). The water came out in a pathetic dribble…until…I removed the stupid plastic restrictor disc. Now we have full flow. F. U. Federal government.
@Tony R
I did the same with a new shower head. Luckily for us the manufacturers of these things realized the public still wanted good flow regardless what the gubmint says so they designed the required feature to be easily removeable. If anyone else is frustrated with their water flow check this out:

someone is making money off of this
just like the last time.
my experience with the LED bilbs, is that they have several LED lights within the bulb itself. The several bulbs are wired in such a manner that, if one bulb fails, the others do as well and the whole thing is junk. (It is either series or parallel wiring, not sure which). Remember those old Christmas lights that drove you crazy, finding the bad bulb that shut off the whole string of lights? These are wired in the same way.
Which suggests to me that the people promoting and designing this probably never had Christmas lights, or anything to do with that celebration, for that matter.
Why is it allowed that such an inferior and deliberately designed product is soon to be mandated? Next thing you know, they’ll start doing the same thing with the field of medicine.
wut?
A 100 watt bulb can keep you from freezing to death. LEDs not so much. Also works great for dog coops and hen houses.
FUKEM…BUY LED’S INSTEAD! Save money and they last lonnger!
So now we are stuck with 10,000 hour LED’s running off 100 hour shitty electronics made in China. More than once I’ve recognized the smell of overheated electronics and discovered my LED bulb smoking with the base brown from overheating.
The cadaver doesn’t have time for real problems. He can’t even day incandescent.
Remember the meme: what did liberals use before candles? Electricity.
Can’t hide the spy technology in the incandescents like the LED.
Some of them already come set up for Smart technology.
Can’t buy a tv that isn’t set up to spy on you anymore.
Fact is that Obama Bin Lyin’ tried the same scheme in an effort to push the ChiComs bogus bulbs. Getting a severe push-back he dropped the scam tactic and now since it’s been exposed that ChinaMoney Joe Biden & Son is in their pocket he’s reviving the same. The human rights abusing Joe Biden will have to pry my incandescent bulbs from my cold dead hands.
“ban incandescent light bulbs from consumer purchase starting on August 1, 2023” but not for the government?
Good thing that the last time “they” tried to ban incandescent bulbs, we went and bought a lot of different wattage bulbs. Still have plenty of bulbs in storage. Extra bulbs AND were bought at pre-inflationary prices. A deal.
Mandate that ALL politicians use LED Lamps in their ovens
If they can do it to light bulbs, they can do it to ammo, food, you name it.
I am so DAMN TIRED of this cox sucker! I only pray that soon, I mean SOON, his morbid, putrid, hate-filled, spiteful, light snuffs out on its own, permanently! This fucker is absolutely sick and insane! Please, God! Please!
