Perhaps you’ve heard the news: the incandescent light bulb is dead. That’s because, according to countless media reports, January 1st marks the light bulb ban. Today’s the day when the US government finally phases out the dated technology by banning the manufacture or import of 60-watt and 40-watt incandescent bulbs, which are repeatedly cited as the most popular bulbs in the US. The reports typically suggest that consumers get used to buying pricier, more efficient compact fluorescent or LED bulbs, or else stock up on incandescents while supplies last. There is no such thing as an incandescent light bulb ban in the United States.
