Rare white reflector
|
| Lately, they’ve been removing many listings of A19 incandescent bulbs within hours of listing, but they’re not perfect as there are still some up. All this thanks to the 2023 ban. Just take a look around for yourself. Lots of LED, not as much incandescents as before.

| Wow, that's ridiculous! You can't buy or sell them! It's easier to get weed! Didn't Trump unban them or something?

MV in 2025!!!

Man, It should be the other way round- LEDs get banned and Incandescent get to be sold. I have no clue why are they trying to get rid of these incandescent bulbs even though they have no mercury + toxic gases in them. The only thing what I see a negative in them is that they get very hot and maymelt if current gets too high. Otherwise, these nasty things should be  |

Usually I collect bulbs (Mostly LED) and some HID ones. I also own a couple of streetlights, but most are made in Poland.
However, I mostly prefer SOX bulbs. LED bulbs in their efficacy will never beat SOX bulbs, in my opinion.

| I've seen a few different ways around this . Not using the word Incandescent in the listing , spelling it wrong I.E. Incande$cent , Not LED , Old Style light bulb , ETC.

| Yep, I've been selling lots of things on eBay lately and the word "incandescent" is flagged. You have to remove it to successfully list lamps for sale.

Mercury Rules
|
| It's actually simpler than that... I get around the ban by simply marking the category as "Business & Industrial → Facility Maintenance → Lamps & Lighting Parts" or whatever the subcategories are called.

| What I dont understand is how incondecent lightbulbs were able to be around for 100s of years
While nowadays it seams every 20years we create something new we deem "better" even if in some ways its not and activly try to prevent people that actualy try to use the older lights ( for their own reasons) to not be able to do so
And worst of all, everyone does it (or if not now, will start doing so), so u cant even move to some other country
I cant even blame one political party for it, cuz it seams no matter who is in power, they all have the same thinking
What was different 100years ago, then now?
Why didnt people back in the day ban lighting tehnologies?
