the 100W bulb lives on....

You can usually get the power company to reduce the voltage if it is

Another lame straw man, as usual.

Unlike the British way, of killing people and burning down their homes to steal their land?

"A straw man is a component of an argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position."- please explain where I misrepresented your position, if you even had one...

Why did you build such a big house if you occupy so little of it? Overbuilding: more unsustainable American gluttony...

Keep it up. This is why you left the last time, after everyone kill filed your silly ass.

Ignoramus. Do you use every bit of space in your home 24/7?

Nah- I had better things to do than waste time talking with the likes of you..

I can accept that you need to behave differently.

You feel drawn to the light?

Oh, but you see, it's "For Your Own Good."

Thanks, Rich

Bill, you're trying to push a rope.

Do you mean like the ones you've attended?

Thanks, Rich

Maybe you sleep in multiple rooms, but i sleep in just one room.

No answer as to which 130V version? Since I mention the differing-from- each-other 120V performances of 3 common 130V 100W versions, with a 1:38 to 1 range of light output and efficiency at 120V, and a 4-plus-to-one range in life expectancy at 120V, I think it's relevant to ask which one you were referring to.

All of these incandescent applications look like ones already typically served by incandescents that are exempt from the upcoming ban.

Get any of these:

• An incandescent not affected by the ban, such as 40W flame shape, or a halogen having enough energy efficiency to escape the ban on that basis (such as 2 Philips and 4 GE models that I am aware of).

• An LED bulb, if it is rated for dimmers or photocells.

• A cold cathode CFL. They are a little less efficient than the usual hot cathode ones, but they last longer, suffer essentially zero wear from starting, and most are rated for dimmers - which means OK for electronic switching. Did I say essentially zero wear from starting? These are even used for marquee lights in Las Vegas! I only seem them in brick-and-mortar stores up to 3 or 4 watts so far, but online sellers have them up to at least 8 watts.

What about those 40W appliance bulbs? In refrigerators, they last a long time. In the ventilation hoods, not so long.
