As of Jan.1 75-watt bulbs will no longer be manufactured. Stores can sell
off their inventory so buy what you can. I hate the new LEDs and curly
fluorescents. They are too dim for my eyes and the color is awful. The new
bulbs cost 5 to 10 times more. This is insane.

The concept of watts as a measure of luminescence never really made sense.
Why not get a real indication of output of the device instead of the
consumption of power? So the term Lumens should now be the only way we
speak about how well a bulb illuminates and not how much $$$ it costs me
for that same brightness.
Much like paint for a wall that is white, there are a few different shades
of white.

I hope so but I am not holding my breath. The article says they will be
cheap to manufacture but we'll have to wait and see. Those special bulbs
introduced in April cost $60.00 each.

It hardly matters what the package says about lumens. I bought a number of
new bulbs in which the package says will replace 75-watt bulbs for the same
lumens. That is a crock. I cannot read a magazine or book under these curly
bulbs. The total output of a bulb may be the same lumens but I think the
light is dissipated in too many directions for the new bulbs.

They are also a good example of short-term thinking. Sure, the CFLs save
energy, but with the mercury in them it spells a huge environmental
problem.

Those bulbs would cost from $35 to $55 in the U.S. It will take 20 years to
pay for them.
