The regulations that would have banned incandescent bulbs were ultimately repealed but not before some manufactures had already ceased production and/or changed their products like such as in the example provided by the OP.

You can buy long-life incandescent bulbs which are made with a thicker filament but they also produce less light.

I had not noticed that the ban had been lifted. Good update.

when is the last time you looked at led lights, and where did you look at them?
He brought up a good point. I would love to change the bulbs in my garage door opener motor but the LED bulbs are too large. The fvxker has these bulb housings on a diagonal and the bulbs won't fit down.

The reason I want to change the to LED is because the incandescent ones are constantly going out.

truth is that de la Paz is just upset he can't use his Easy Bake oven anymore. only a 100W incandescent produces enough heat to cook with in one

Normal bulbs don't take the vibration well, perhaps some special ones would be better for you.

Why don't you change the door opener?
