Biden admin moving forward with light bulb bans in coming weeks
Sal Ammoniac:
Went to Home Depot this weekend. The only incandescent bulbs they had in stock were 40W and 11W "appliance" bulbs. These are intended for use in ovens, and, hence, can't be replaced by LED bulbs.

Last time I was at Home Depot, they did have the specialty incandescents....large 200W and 300W bulbs on standard bases. I don't need those, but I was amused.

No, 250W reflector heat lamps were also on the shelf, I can tell the difference.
Here's what I'm referring to: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Feit-Electric-300-Watt-High-Lumen-Clear-PS25-Medium-E26-Soft-White-2700K-Utility-Incandescent-Light-Bulb-1-Bulb-300M-HDRP/312557048
TimFox:
Looking at the Home Depot website, I found a good collection of that brand (in the usual range of wattage) in what appear to be old-fashioned (non-halogen) incandescent bulbs for "utility" purposes, as opposed to "general service lamps" to be banned by existing regulations.
