> light bulbs are fine after banning incandescent bulbs. LED bulbs (which were still available at time of the regulations) are better than incandescent bulbs in nearly every way, as long as you don't cheap out and go for one that flickers at under the rate of an incandescent. LEDs are superior now, but not when incandescents were de facto banned. They would be superior now without the regulation, and would have supplanted incandescents. What regulation got us were compact fluorescents - more toxic, more wasteful, and more fragile than incandescents - in the interim.
