Are Pink Incandescent Light Bulbs Back?

Soft Pink Sylvania Light Bulbs

Some of my most popular posts on Chinoiserie Chic have been on the "banning" of incandescent light bulbs. Read "No More Pretty in Pink" here. Put your reading glasses on and pour yourself another cup of coffee....

This is from The Edison Report - "On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump signed the 'Unleashing American Energy' executive order, which, among other provisions, removed the ban on incandescent light bulbs. This action aims to 'safeguard the American people’s freedom to choose from a variety of goods and appliances, including but not limited to lightbulbs.'

Gone But Not Forgotten - Pink Light Bulbs

R.I.P.

 

It is very possible that I have posted on pink light bulbs more than any other topic. I started recommending pink light bulbs on Chinoiserie Chic back in 2011. I have continued posting on them frequently until recently when I started warning everyone nonstop to stock up as incandescent bulbs were about to be banned. 

The ban has now gone into effect. One cannot manufacture them without meeting impossible standards that would make them cost prohibitive and they are now illegal to sell. I am not just talking about pink incandescents, but a ban on virtually all incandescent bulbs that went into effect August 1. Halogens do not meet the new standards either. And importing the banned bulbs is likewise illegal.
