I think I replaced most of mine with CFLs before I went solar in '06. PG&E was doing the same type of rebate program here, so they were cheap. I'm not sure if my local store has started carrying LEDs. 01/23/11 12:30 PM ET LOS ANGELES — The brightest bulb in most homes for more than a century is fading toward darkness this year as California turns out the light on the century-old incandescent. Beginning Jan. 1, the state began phasing out certain energy-sucking bulbs, federal standards the rest of the country will enact next year. Manufacturers will no longer make the traditional 100-watt bulb and stores will eventually sell out of current supplies. Consumers will have to choose from more efficient bulbs that use no more than 72 watts, including halogen incandescents, compact fluorescents and light-emitting diode, or LED, bulbs. huffingtonpost.com
