Incandescent light bulbs are officially banned in the U.S.::America’s ban on incandescent light bulbs, 16 years in the making, is finally a reality. Well, mostly.

LED bulbs aren't really even a small thing.

going from a 100W bulb to a 15W bulb, or a 60W bulb to a 2.5W bulb (that's the actual conversion for the bulbs i've actually bought on amazon and am currently using, not hypothetical guesses) across 20-30 bulbs in a single house is a real actual big difference in energy savings.
