Members Mesa/Kramer Posted December 30, 2011 Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 I don't understand? 100 watt phased out 2012 75 watt phased out 2013 and 40 - 60 watt bulbs phased out in 2014??? How the hell anyone gonna be able to see anything with bulbs under 40 watts? Say goodbye to 100 watts in 2012 Posted by Stephanie Nelson on December 30, 2011. If you prefer the brightness of incandescent bulbs over their more efficient counterparts, you better stock up on the 100-watt versions now.

Members ruppert240 Posted December 30, 2011 Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 they need to sell warmer CFLS. Most of them are too white/harsh for my taste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GCDEF Posted December 30, 2011 Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 The law is that 100 watt bulbs need to be 28% more efficient. It doesn't matter how they do it. FWIW, I find the new ones ugly, but the quality of light is pretty good and they do seem to last longer and work better, especially in ceiling fans.

Members this is paul Posted December 30, 2011 Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 Lamps are becoming more efficient ad require less wattage for the same amount of light. A division of where I work deals on with lighting design and distribution. It's really crazy how many changes are coming down the pipeline soon...and I'm really glad I'm not part of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ovid9 Posted December 30, 2011 Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 http://mynewsdaily.com/new-incandescent-bulbs-law-takes-effect-january-1-2012/341000/ As GDCEF says, you can still buy them, they're just a different filament design. They're also going to be labeled differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jenksdrummer Posted December 30, 2011 Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 Strange, I have to change the CFL's every 2 months. Are they inside an enclosure? They don't handle getting hot all that well....wears them out quickly. The LED lights are where things are going - I'd switch to tham now if they weren't {censored}ing $20 a light.

Members SteinbergerHack Posted December 30, 2011 Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 they need to sell warmer CFLS. Most of them are too white/harsh for my taste Screw CFLs and the mercury in 'em. I'm in the process of switching over my whole house to LED. If you get the ones with a 2700k color temp, they look VERY close to a regular incandescent, and only use about 1/5 the power. I put a 14W Par 30 into a recessed can yesterday, and it was brighter and warmer looking than the 65W incandescent in the next fixture over. Add to that the fact that they last anywhere from 25,000 to 50,000 hours (regular incandescents are 1,500-3,000), and don't have the warmup time issues of CFLs, and it's a no-brainer.
