"As 2012 becomes an afterthought, Americans can also add one other item to the past -- the 75-watt incandescent light bulb. As of Jan. 1, federal law dictates that 75-watt light bulbs can no longer be produced or imported in the United States. Retailers that still have them in stock can sell them until they run out. By 2014, traditional 60- and 40-watt bulbs will also be phased out." (01/02/12)
