Government seems to be in the habit of justifying such actions based on poorly performed studies or anecdotal evidence. I suppose that if someone replaced every light used for more than a few hours a day, the savings in energy would justify the higher cost of each bulb. But the vast majority of people regularly use only a small fraction of the total number of lights regularly for more than a few hours a day. Personally, of all the light bulbs at my residence, which total 100, only about 5 percent are used for more than a few hours a day. The remaining 95 percent are used less frequently and their use can vary from less than one minute per day to a few hors per week. Of all the bulbs I use most, I have replaced the incandescent bulbs with efficient light bulbs. I anticipate recovering the extra cost of the efficient bulbs within a few years, which is why I replaced the incandescent bulbs. But if I replaced the remaining bulbs with efficient bulbs, the payback would take substantially longer and would likely not occur within my children’s lifetime. I don’t mind the government encouraging the switch from incandescent to more efficient light bulbs, but a responsible government would educate rather than mandate. Let the people decide.

  We switched bulbs years before the gov said anything. And we homeschool w/o any gov interference whatsoever ever. All the best.
