It’s too bad that the incandescent light bulb is on its way out.
Yes, they’re inefficient, but all of the energy that they use which isn’t turned into light is turned into heat. So it means you’re heating your home with electricity, which a lot of people do for a lot of the year anyway.
The cost of manufacture and disposal should also be considered with these other types of bulbs. Also, I just like the yellow glow of an old-fashioned bulb. I’ll be hoarding some before that ban kicks in.
