What's at the local Ace Hardware would be the real test for the Villages people.
So glad to hear about reprieve,,, I noticed last time at Ace Hdware, (a few weeks ago) there were many more incandescent lights than ever so I presumed the mandated turnover was changed. Thank Gawd!!! Heading to Ace today to get more, I soon will be able to open a store.

Yes, Tal, they do contain mercury (which is the dumbest thing I've ever heard) and they are more expensive to buy, hard to recycle or trash and they don't give off as much brightness... anyone wanna tell me why we are going in this direction????

Ooops, almost forgot and they are all made in China.... another reason not to buy...
