I have seizures under CFLs and regular fluorescent lights. LEDs do the same thing because they tend to operate on alternating current when in light fixtures. I've been stocking up on incandescent lights so I never run out. Like Travis, I too will be screwed when incandescent lights become unavailable.

Some people might tolerate them in shops but not for long hours at home. If suing didn't work, government regime change would have to be an option by whatever means necessary. No government would be brave and foolish enough to risk this fascist act of idiocy. Get it please.

I'm screwed when incandescents are banned, because I suffer from light sensitivity. Fluorescent lights cause me to get severe migranes. I tried LED's, they do the same thing, since they flicker even worse than fluorescents do. Another question is, how are we going to dispose of these light bulbs? Are LED's recyclable? Fluorescents are toxic and very few people recycle them. How many people do they honestly believe will recycle LED's. Incandescents are easily recyclable and many people do recycle them. I think that this whole issue will cause more problems than anything. I think it’s a shame that they suspended this.
