If they become the law and regular light bulbs are no longer made, I will be hoarding as many as I can! I have difficulty seeing in low light conditions. The CFL bulbs are just horrible for me. Seriously. We thought we would be all "eco" and changed out all the bulbs a few years ago. Within a few days, I had to replace them. I particularly had difficulty with the ones in the basement and garage and my study. I travel a lot and now I have to bring a few light bulbs because more hotels are using them and I have trouble reading in the room.
