[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am finally getting to the end of my stash of incandescent light bulbs. What —exactly— do I get now?

I have an internal hallway with ceiling fixtures. When I bought some bulbs that claimed to replace 60 watt bulbs, I ended up with dim, yellowish almost brownish light.  I have lamps in the bedroom that use 3-way bulbs, and large round globe bulbs around the vintage mirror in the bathrooms. My biggest issue at the moment though is the hallway. I used to just grab 4 packs of GE lightbulbs, and all was well.  Now I have no idea what brands are reliable and which ones aren’t, or what really replaces the old regular 60 watt bulbs.

Please help. An Amazon or other link with specifics would be great.  Thank you! 
Yes, this is a real plea. The hallway really is that bad now. [/quote]

I am in the same boat.

I keep hoping that Trump will do the one executive order almost everyone can get behind, almost as popular as the banning of paper straws, the return of incandescent lightbulbs.

It would really mess with me, but I would actually thank Trump for the return of incandescent lightbulbs and the easy availability of Coke made with cane sugar.  Wince. [/quote]

Sorry, why would you want incandescent bulbs? I get that people didn't like the fluorescent they were pitching 10-15 years ago, but LEDs are phenomenal. If you have an LED that doesn't look exactly like how you want it, you've got the wrong LED. And they last forever. And they use less energy.

Also, you can get cola with cane sugar—Mexican coke is sold at the Giant and Balducci's has a case full of hippy-dippy no-corn-syrup softdrinks.[/quote]

Leds are terrivle for your eyes.

They distort color, even the warm led lights.

That's because the colored covers are clear, and you get direct eye contact with the diode and it's harmful to the eye. Same as taillights on some vehicles.

I have to pull over and let someone get ahead if driving at night behind someone with LED exposed diode taillights.

Epileptics really have trouble with LED lights I hear. [/quote]
