And the people who are claiming that this isn't a "ban" are lying. This, in essence, is clearly a ban on the conventional light bulb by making the "efficiency standards" beyond reach.

To all the lefties clapping their little hands in joy over this blatant intrusion in peoples' lives - the axe can very easily swing the other way. You won't be so giddy when the right-wingers are micromanaging YOUR life. What will stop them now that the barn door is open?

My eyes are extremely sensitive to florescent light. I constantly see a strobe effect, and the light itself is both very dim and glaring (yes, I know that doesn't make sense, but it is). Within minutes I feel nasua and headaches.

But I guess it's "tough luck" for people like me. It's not like I need any more reasons to hate leftist statists.
