Can I still buy the politically incorrect light bulbs?

Question

I was at Costco yesterday and realized they no longer carry the old style, worked perfectly well for decades, now politically incorrect light bulbs. Can I still get them at other stores? Call me crazy, but I like them for their cheap cost and ease of use. And, I think I don't get cancer from them like the trendy new ones.

Answer 1

yes.. for a while yet

Answer 2

Yes most stores do carry the old fashioned NONE MERCURY CARRYING lightbulbs!!!

Answer 3

little by little the non-poisonous variety are being phased out. better switch your stock over to some haserdous materal handeling companies.

Answer 4

I don't know. Maybe all the stores will start coming out with health insurance to help cover the costs of the mercury poisoning from the new light bulbs.

Answer 5

Here in England your not supposed to use the old type bulb, the new ones are called 'Energy Saving' light bulbs.  Did you know the only country that makes them is China, so is that called cornering the market?

Answer 6

What's a "politically incorrect light bulb"?  If you want a particular type of bulb TRY OTHER SHOPS.

Answer 7

i understand that they will be phased out by 2009 but i am unable to use them due to eye problems and diabetes.  i am sure that many others will have the same problems and this will prove a real hardship to many.

i think it is just another intrusive mandate by the government to more and more regulate our lives and businesses.

Answer 8

Yes, I found some at Walmart.  

Answer 9

The last time I bought incandescence, I remember I got them from Safeway. They're probably still available if you look. s***w ugly mecury bulbs they name florescence!
