We receive questions daily regarding the disappearance of the Incandescent "Light Bulb."

Contrary to what many people think, standard incandescent bulbs are not being banned, they are simply going to be more efficient. The bulbs most commonly used by consumers today will not meet the new requirements.

Over the next two years, the new requirements will affect 100-watt, 75-watt, 60-watt and 40-watt medium screw-base incandescent light bulbs. These bulbs will be replaced with more efficient halogen bulbs, which are a type of incandescent.

Timeline for implementing new standards for incandescent bulbs in the United States:

• Jan. 1, 2012 100 Watt
• Jan. 1, 2013 75 Watt
• Jan. 1, 2014 60 Watt & 40 Watt

ECO HALOGEN BULBS ARE AVAILABLE NOW @ LIGHT & DAY.
