Can you still buy incandescent light bulbs in california.
If you live in california you can say goodbye to incandescent and halogen light bulbs.
This decision didn t just suddenly happen.
The california energy commission voted on november 13 2019 to ban the sale of inefficient light bulbs starting january 1 2020.
Yes you can still buy incandescent light bulbs.
Under environmental regulations that take effect that.
From the ndrc website.
1 2018 the humble everyday incandescent light bulb will reach a milestone in its long and steady fade into our collective memory.
Personally i actually prefer led bulbs over incandescents but i know many of you do not.
It s the result of years of work to make the state more energy efficient.
In california those standards culminate this year in a requirement that bulbs must use about 65 less energy to cast the same amount of light a standard too high for incandescent technology to.
By now you re probably aware that the world is transitioning away from incandescent light bulbs and more or less replacing them with energy efficient led bulbs.
