start up again? Nobody in the USA actually made incandescent bulbs any longer when the ban was implemented. All of them were made in China, really, except for some specialized ones.

I replaced all of the incandescent bulbs in my house with CFLs the moment they burned out. Now, I have a wide range of LED bulbs in the utility closet and am replacing the CFLs as they fail. Most of the house is lit by LEDs now. I watch for sales on them and pick up a box when they're really cheap. I just saw a good sale for 100W equivalent bulbs, and am planning to buy a couple of boxes to use where a little more light will be nice.

Incandescent bulbs are stupid. They fail quickly and use too much electricity. Screw Trump!
