End of Light Bulb Ban: More Lighting Choices for Citizens

This act repeals previous energy efficiency regulations for light bulbs, meaning manufacturers can once again sell traditional incandescent bulbs. For citizens, this means a wider selection of lighting products in stores, including potentially cheaper options, but also potentially higher electricity bills if less energy-efficient light sources are used.
Key points
Reinstatement of the ability to sell traditional incandescent light bulbs, which were previously phased out due to energy efficiency standards.
Greater variety of light bulbs available in stores, potentially impacting prices and availability of different lighting types.
Potential increase in household electricity consumption if citizens opt for less energy-efficient bulbs.
