Incandescent light bulbs?
-
As we all know our favorite President Brandon has banned a large number of incandescent light bulbs from the public sphere. Other than the heat lamp bulbs (which are nice, but are a bit unwieldy), is there a list of the kinds of incandescent bulbs still on the market that I can use just for lighting around the house?

@Orindere It looks like all household (ie. general service) incandescents are being banned and the exceptions are the specialty lamps (heat lamps, marine lamps, plant lights etc). I stocked up on some of the incandescent light bulbs that I use the most last summer, but the prices had already more than doubled. I used to pay $20 for the 12 pack of Philips BR30 flood lamps for my indoor recessed lighting. Last year the price went up to $53.99 and they are still for sale on Amazon now, but at a price of $72.89, so I'll be banning myself from paying that amount
