Little update:

I got in contact with the seller to see if any of the other lamps he had were Safeline lamps, and as it turns out, of the eight lamps he had, four of them were Safelines! So, I will hopefully be receiving four Sylvania 250W deluxe white Safeline mercury vapor bulbs.

I don't believe the DOE rule that goes into effect in 2028 applies to anything other than the screw-based general service lamps that are currently required to achieve an efficacy of 45 lpw today.  Linear fluorescent and HID have separate regulations, but screw-based CFLs would be considered GSLs and prohibited by this rule.

@Econolite03, 100% agree there too. Dominos is the best in terms of value, which is excellent because Dominos is also 3 minutes away
from my place, so driving there is easy. Papa Johns and Little Caesars are more expensive... Little Caesars is my favorite among the two.
Just unfortunate that Little Caesars isn't close to where I live, unlike Pizza Hut, Papa Johns and Dominos.
A&G Pizza, a local business near me, is also very good. Unfortunately their customer service obliterated all chances of me giving them
anymore chances.
Just now, I ate some "Spidey" Yogurt, from Walmart... yogurt based around Spider-man, but very similar to "Trix" yogurt. March 2026 expiration date,
so it's fresh/delicious. Drank some vanilla Almond Milk with NesQuik chocolate syrup. (Chocolate milk) Really good stuff, always an 8 out of 10 there.
Next paycheck is just a couple days away... I gotta snap out of this and get back into physical fitness/weightlifting. :'-)

As someone who has primarily a pizza diet I’m the same way… unless someone else brings it or its offered to me, I personally wouldn’t get it. I have accounts with Domino’s, Papa John’s, and Little Caesars instead. I’d say value wise Domino’s is the best, with Papa John’s/Little Caesars are tied. Then there’s the local businesses which while more expensive have really good pizza.

Probably Mountain dew, green V or Redbull.

Today I reported a couple of smashed 26w CFL Sylvania Suburbans on a laneway, unfortunately they will likely just have a new lamp stuck in, since the diffusers aren't made any more.

@Econolite03, I agree with you, 100%. Pizza Hut is NOT what it use to be. It use to be so good, now it's like... "ehh, at least I ate."
Nothing worth remembering or going back for. At all. And super stale crust?... so I think that will be the last time I get Pizza Hut.
I may give in if like, my job orders Pizza Hut, or if my friends want to order Pizza Hut at their place, or my place... but other than that,
Pizza Hut is trash.

Pizza Hut ain’t what it used to be. It was better before 2017. The quality has slipped, the value isn’t great compared to other chains, and their customer service is lacking. Yum! Brands is clueless.

I got nothing special to eat either... just some Pizza Hut, stuffed crust pizza. 5... out of 10.
They gave me the pizza... I confirmed it was fresh. Why is it that the entire crust seemed... stale?
Very tough to eat -- my jaw hurt eating that pizza. :( I feel like I just ate a jaw breaker from the TV show Ed, Edd, n Eddy.

Unfortunately it looks most conventional light sources would fall under this and even some LED lamps won't fulfill that criteria. Unfortunately this will encourage manufacturers to phase out conventional lighting products and even with LEDs probably phase out the higher CRI ones in favour of lower CRI (70-90) LED...which don't look as nice as the higher CRI products.

In Canada I believe they are looking to ban fluorescent lamps by 2030, using mercury content as the reason to ban them.
