Well, I got 4 ocular migraines in less than 3 days. Packed them all up and sent them back. If anyone has recommendations for LEDs that don't trigger migraines let me know. Or else I guess I'm buying a lifetime supply of incandescents and a storage unit for lightbulbs /s.
Honestly, the whole thing sort of seems like focusing on the wrong things. I've never owned a car, am vegetarian, have never lived in more than 1000 sq ft as an adult, and walk/take public transit in NYC daily. Not sure the 2 incandescent lightbulbs I use in my living room are really causing climate change.
Where do you shop for light bulbs? I don’t think I’ve seen an incandescent on a store shelf for the better part of a decade now.
I did buy a large supply of incandescents some 15years ago, now running out of them and starting to consider alternatives.
I had the opposite. I had significantly fewer migraines after switching (originally) to GE LEDs from incandescent. I forget which product line, but they were the daylight ones and expensive.

I can confidently say that the general public laws about light bulb choices are not written for people who match this description.
They're not. Longevity, small profit margins, ease of entry, and bedding-down with electric franchises, all rolled into lobbying that changed politician's minds.
What happens when the electric companies here in the US see reduction in use? Profits lower, but that's okay, because they'll just petition the boards that run those energy monopolies, and our rates go up.
