    This is exactly what I was getting at. There are so many considerations and they clearly put some thought into the exception list even though the reasons may not be readily apparent. The order is not a small step in the right direction it’s a significant step in the right direction and the impact on actual electricity usage is going to be massive.

      the impact on actual electricity usage is going to be massive.

      Is it?

      How many people are still installing new incandescent bulbs in 2023?

      Is there an actual study showing the expected costs and benefits of this rule, or is it purely political posturing?
