The entire light bulb is the result of the EPA meddling with the climate change bullcrap. When the CFL's became the "norm" Sylvannia, Phillips and GE moved their
plants to China in order to be competitive with the cost of fluorescents - all the US plants closed. After the mercury and questionable service life took its toll and the new generation of bulbs. LED's were the next best thing to save the planet.
Like a few others, I have squirreled away dozens of "old style" bulbs that fit in the fixtures we have without modification.
