I still buy them from 1000bulbs.com (Amazon won't ship incandescent to Commiefornia). They don't have many options left but the ones I buy are 118 watt street lamp bulbs which, funny enough, are rated at 8000 hours instead of 1200 hours. So weird they can make them last that much longer in a commercial application.
I run them on a dimmer for fixtures that are rated lower than 120 watt, problem solved.
Still bugs me that gov't mandates stuff that is IMPOSSIBLE!
Sustainable life-cycle management has been known for decades! That was the standard when I was in R&D.
How is child mining not acknowledged as part of life-cycle management of "renewable" energy? How can their lives be compensated?? And then, the disposal of EV batteries, solar panels, wind vanes?? WUT? How is that sustainable environmentalism?? By casual observation, it is not sustainable, not environmental friendly, and positively destructive to those mining for these "renewable" energies?!?
That is not science. That is not renewable logistics. It is pure ideology meant to subject society to, well to what? What do they gain by this absurdity? Help me out here . . .

They could probably make bulbs that last 20 years that wouldn't be significantly more expensive, but that would hurt revenue flow.
Livermore, CA claims to have a bulb from 1901 that is still working.... They can do it.

Two things….craftsmanship was better 115 years ago….if it’s never been turned off the filament isn’t fatigued.
Just like they used to make lifetime car batteries.
Thanks!
