The old type light bulbs with a thin wire type filament does not appear to be available in stores anymore.

Incandescent. And no they are being banned.

I can get those whirly bulbs really cheap from Bunnings Hardware, and they seem to work OK. However, I understand that they do have pollution issues. I had one in my bedside lamp, they don't use that much electricity, and I get good lighting. Now someone will post very soon that I am not doing the right thing according to Green issues.

You should do whatever works best for you.

You're doing fine. There can be an issue with pollution if you break one, there is a small amount of mercury in each bulb. Dispose of these responsibly when there wear out.

Still all over the shelves here in the US, as well as halogen bulbs. Could end up a black market item!

Just checked and most here are gone. Not all just the most common types where alternatives are available.

They are being phased out over here. First the 100w bulbs, then 75w and finally 60w. I believe many of the specialty sizes and designer bulbs will still be available.

...It may take a while to get them up to speed IMO.

I thought the speed of light was constant?
