-The warm glow of the 75-watt incandescent light bulb soon will wink out.
Though the bulbs still are available in stores, producers stopped manufacturing them Jan. 1. The industry is phasing out incandescent bulbs to meet federal energy standards by 2014.
The 75-watt bulb is the second casualty of 2007's Energy Independence and Security Act, which requires household lighting to be 27 percent more efficient by next year.
Light bulb producers stopped making 100-watt bulbs a year ago, and 60- and 40-watt bulbs will be discontinued in 2014.
interesting topic. I can get on board with that. II remember when my wife looked like that. We are having an anniversary Tuesday. My, how the times have changed.
