“For those who are fans of the traditional, yellowish glow of an incandescent light bulb, the time has come stock up. We’ve already seen the 75-watt variety ushered out with a ban on manufacturing or importing them starting in 2013, but Jan. 1, 2014, starts the same process with 40- and 60-watt bulbs. Stores are allowed to continue to sell the incandescent bulbs until the supply runs out. The move forces consumers to switch to LED, compact fluorescent light bulbs and others, which are currently more expensive than the Thomas Edison-invented incandescents but are billed to be more efficient with a longer lifespan.”
