According to a Fox News report, the Biden Administration’s crackdown on lightbulbs begins today; it will begin enforcing a nationwide ban on various types of popular light bulbs.
It’s all part of an aggressive (and expensive) energy agenda.
“It’s impossible for Democrats to leave us alone. States must fight back,” Rep. Bob Good (R-VA) tweeted ahead of the ban enforcement.

From Fox News:
Under the Department of Energy’s (DOE) regulations, manufacturers and retailers will be prohibited from selling incandescent and similar halogen light bulbs which represent a sizable share of current light bulb supplies. Instead, manufacturers and retailers must sell light-emitting diode, or LED, alternatives or risk substantial federal penalties.
“President Biden continues to push liberal fantasies through his weaponized federal agencies,” Rep. Andy Barr, R-Ky., added. “The Department of Energy should be focused on American energy independence, not on what lightbulbs you can or can’t purchase for your home or business.”
In April 2022, months after first proposing the rulemaking, the DOE finalized regulations prohibiting certain light bulbs over their low energy efficiency levels. According to the DOE announcement, the regulations are projected to save consumers an estimated $3 billion per year on utility bills and cut carbon emissions by 222 million metric tons over the next three decades.
The DOE has warned retailers for months about its light bulb ban enforcement to ensure industry-wide compliance.
