Biden administration incandescent lightbulb ban takes effect

The new lightbulb efficiency regulations were announced last April by the Department of Energy and require all bulbs sold by retailers to produce a minimum of 45 lumens, the measure of light and brightness, per watt. There are exceptions for certain appliances that use incandescent bulbs, however, such as microwaves.
