Reply #54: Why cant consumers have a choice? [View All]

[davepc]

I have about 60% fluorescent bulbs in my house, but for some applications (like my desk lamps and other lights that I use primarily to read at night) I prefer the softer light of incandescent.

I'd be pretty annoyed if the government told me I could only use one type of bulb.

Though maybe the restriction will spur development of other alternatives, but I hate the idea of banning things.
