Re: [Phys-l] Domestic light sources



Hi

New standards in 2012 will most likely force a phase out of old style incandescent bulb in the US. They are being banned elsewhere but GE and Philips are trying to make a new version that will meet the new efficiency standards. This has been in the news lately (search the NY Times), a summary is at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-out_of_incandescent_light_bulbs

I don't think so. The Hope Depot here in Princeton, NJ has plenty if
incandescent bulbs, including 150 W, 200 W, and 300 W. Many more CFLs, but
still a big supply of incandescent ones.

"It might interest you to know that in UK 100W light bulbs are no
longer available and I heard on the news today that 60W bulbs are also
to be phased out fairly soon. There is growing pressure to move on to
more efficient lighting technologies. ..."

I tried to buy some 200 and some 300 watt bulbs last weekend. I could
not find any. Is it now illegal to sell them in the US?
cheers
