100% LED in my house.  Only place I have incandescent is in my old car.

Is there any reason to use incandescent in a home nowadays? Just wondering if they serve a purpose? 

 

We are all led as far as I know. We burn both porch lights all night as you know.

Not that I can see.  Both generate heat, but I think LEDs are cooler overall.  And come in a variety of intensities and whiteness.  

 

My previous truck had LED low beams and regular high beams and fog lights.  Now all forward lights are LED, but I think all marker and tail lights are regular?  Seems odd that they would mix-n-match.

Decorative is the only one I can think of. Our new home is going to be near enough to all LED as we can get (I think the porch light and lantern at the foot of the front stairs may be incandescent still).

 

I resisted the change at first myself but in terms of efficiency and money LEDs make sense.

So, tell me again why they are banning them?  We have no choice?

Energy efficiency? 

"Officials estimate this will cut carbon emissions by 222 million metric tons over 30 years and will save $3 million per year on utility bills."

And as you can see from the link, it is too late to have a choice, as it was finalized a year ago. Enforcement starts in July this year and not all incandescent lightbulbs are banned.

 

In any case, it is an extremely outdated technology that uses lots of energy and produces an immense amount of heat.

I actually watched a chunk of this in the Brewery, now the volume was drowned out but this one seemed a piece of work, the best player was on the other team but a weaker team.

 

So now she/they do not want to meet the Bidens, well no issue with that but wants to meet Barry and Michelle.

 

Strikes me she will be an ideal match with the WNBA

Oh, By the Way, Nobody Likes Joe: New Poll Shows Biden Near Record Low Approval

 

[...] once again the public's attention has been diverted away from just how badly the Biden regime is doing its job.  [...]

Just wow.

El Salvador's Bukele does Joe Biden a favor, and all he gets are insults

“Nayib Bukele has done Joe Biden a big favor.  Instead of shipping his country's criminals here, which is what Venezuela has done, he's put them in jail in the home country”

The author seems naive. Biden wants more criminals in the U.S.

LEDs interfere with a lot of things, particularly as they age and begin to flicker, but it's still undetectable to the naked eye.  My digital thermostat falls prey to this, and then I have to figure out which & how many LED ceiling lights need to be replace for my thermostat to work properly again.  PITA

Possibly a push to keep more energy "in the grid", since "experts" are now advising people to NOT charge their EVs at home overnight because it is drawing too much power and causing rates to go up (takes more coal and oil to charge more and more EVs).  If only this phenomenon could have been predicted...
