By January 2014, incandescent light bulbs that are 40 Watts or greater will be banned in the United States. This was part of the federal Clean Energy Act of 2007 was signed into law on December 19, 2007.
This will mean that you will only be able to buy compact fluorescent light bulbs from that point onward.
I have tried these light bulbs, and they are very dim, don't last very long (forget the 10,000 hours promised on the package), and require special disposal (they contain mercury, so if people throw them in the garbage instead of taking them to special disposal locations, our landfills will be full of mercury). Also, if you have dimmer switches, they will no longer dim (fluorescent bulbs only go on and off).
