If you put in a new mixing valve, they have the restriction now, and would be a lot harder to fix. The actual shower head is easy to fix.....
I much prefer the old bulbs, when I visit friends and family with the new bulbs the light seams very white and harsh. And I always do the opposite of what the govt wants. I'm not sure of what their game is here,but I'm sure their up to no good.
95% of the output of an incandescent light is heat, 5% is light. Someone should sell incandescent bulbs as space heaters and not "lightbulbs" as a workaround.
I live in Canada. Every BTU an incandescent lightbulb gives off in times when you use space heaters in your living spaces is a BTU not spent by your space heaters, in other words: The heat given off by incandescent lightbulbs is heat that is saved, not spent, by space heaters, meaning incandescent lightbulbs are 100% efficient in the winter.
One reason why I like my LEDs. It's hot enough where I live, I don't need space heaters running all over the house in the form of light bulbs that I will need to use the AC even more to compensate. But yes, I can see how beneficial they are in colder places.
That is not the point. What I stated is that there is no waste in the electricity used by an incandescent light bulb when one needs to provide heat to living spaces: 95% heat, 5% light.
You make no sense. 95% of the electricity used by an incandescent light bulb is given of as heat, 5% as light. That is the whole story. Where is this damned inefficiency you are arguing about?
I'm going to try to put this another way: An Incandescent light bulb is an extremely inefficient lighting apparatus, since only 5% of the electricity that it consumes is converted to light. I think we can all agree up to this point. My point was and still is that, WHEN YOU NEED HEAT, the 95% of the electricity that the incandescent light bulb consumes and turns into heat is NOT WASTED, not one bit. Your statement about gas being better or cheaper is irrelevant. P.S. I do not think you are ignorant, just obtuse. Peace out.
Exactly. Down “south” lots of homes have a pump house outside in the backyard. Well insulated and a 65-75 watt light bulb kept on inside is all it takes to keep it from freezing during the mild winter nights. It may dip into the teens at night and only be in the 20’s for weeks; but the pump house stays nice and warm
I’m a little nerdy so I swap out my track lights in the kitchen and a few other strategic locations around the house. Incandescent in winter and led/fluorescent in summer
i got some incandescents awhile back... MADE IN THE USA!! now every effing bulb they want you to buy is made in CHINA... any this has nothing to do with being energy efficient...
This is some bullshit!! Puget Sound Energy gives out a retarded led bulb annually- they dont last a fucking month! Some job convincing me to buy chinese shit...
They ones that go inside appliances like ovens are still made as those temps will fry anything else. Honestly I don't miss incandescent for regular lighting, so much waste heat in the summer and a way higher electric bill. Even my dad who hoarded incandescent bulbs under Obama went to LED years ago.
I just checked online at Lowe’s and they are expensive! $4 for just one freaking light bulb. Remember when they cost like 99 cents for a 4 pack? Lowe’s does seem to still be selling them though.
Yeah, aren’t the incandescent lights, the lights that gives off a like a soft yellow type of light, not a crisp white light.
I have a stash of 60’s, 100’s and a number of 3 way incandescent bulbs since I prefer them when reading. The 60’s and 100’s were saved up from the first ban. I bought the 3 ways online last year and stocked up
I will say that many of the LED bulbs are better than when they first came out. Some actually have the soft light of an incandescent. I have them as spots outside and am staring to replace overhead room spots since I can’t find the incandescent spots any longer
Im pretty sure my lizard uses them for heat, so how can they fully ban them? Either way them trying to stop production of lightbulbs is the dumbest thing
Federal govt has no place making decisions like this. However, incans start fires, burn fingers, and waste energy. I am fully LED in my house and my electric bill is almost nil.
I still have several hundred, from the last time they were banned.......
Fuk it I buy some more.
I still have my shower valve from the mid 60's. It blasts out water like a fire hose. If you've never had a real shower you are missing out.
Unscrew shower head, remove water flow restricter (piece of plastic), screw back on. Rinse, repeat.
Restrictions are also in the new valves.
I put a new shower head on a few years ago, I drilled the holes out to a number 40.
I have so much water pressure, I only turn it on half way.
Nice. a #40 is almost a .100" diam. hole.
Yes I thought about stepping some of them up to a #30 hole, but I tried it and it worked just fine.

Kek.
It’s all about choosing Color temp of the LED lamps. 2700K is yellow like incandescent and it goes white to blue the higher the number.

Now that's a galaxy brained idea; Mining bitcoin to heat the house in the winter

Less risk of fire especially when you're heating a little greenhouse in the winter... Or a chicken coop
Exactly!
Cascade sold its phosphate laden dishwasher soap as fryer boil out to get around the phosphate ban.

Same here ;-)
Some of us want incandescents for heat...
Like for chickens, water based paint, glue and others that freeze etc.
This is a perfect example of one group imposing their will on another group.

Same shit Obama pulled then Trump reversed it!
Fuc#ers.

Watch the price on everything else skyrocket
You can still buy these?
Go online you can buy incandescent bulbs there if not already sold out.
To be honest I don’t know, heck store’s probably already got rid of them, I may go out to the store to check. Haven’t bought light bulbs in awhile.
They ones that go inside appliances like ovens are still made as those temps will fry anything else. Honestly I don't miss incandescent for regular lighting, so much waste heat in the summer and a way higher electric bill. Even my dad who hoarded incandescent bulbs under Obama went to LED years ago.
These put out emf. Can be measured. Also have imperceptible flicker which affects sleep. I'm back on the incandescent.

I actually like my LEDs. I bought a bulk pack about 5 years ago and still have many left.
But I think if people want to use incandescents, they should have that option.
do. not. comply.
There's more matter in a light bulb than there is in the space between Biden's ears...
I see others here still have them from the first ban, me too.😁🐸
Im pretty sure my lizard uses them for heat, so how can they fully ban them? Either way them trying to stop production of lightbulbs is the dumbest thing
I know the next business I am getting into. 💡

great for 'fireworks' could be why they don't want us to have them, same with fertilizer.....BOOM
Can't find them anywhere local. They've been replaced by LEDs.
