Incandescent light bulbs are officially banned in the U.S.

Wrap it up boys, we’ve solved climate change.
Now instead of throwing out a little glass and wire, I get to throw out entire light fixtures with non-replacable LEDs soldered onto cheap PCBs that fail in about the same time as an incandescent light bulb!

So don’t buy non-replaceable fixtures?

How is removing incandescent bulbs from the marketplace going to increase the installation of fixtures with non-replaceable components, when such fixtures never used incandescent bulbs in the first place?

It can be difficult. I started asking around about getting recessed lighting installed in my kitchen and they all wanted to install disk lights

They should charge you less for using cheaper material, reduce labor costs etc and charge the regular rate (like they fucking die before) to install a recessed fixture.

Overall, capitalism and rampant, irresponsible consumerism is to blame for all these quick fix solutions and lack of repairable devices. Nobody to blame but yourselves for continuing to buy into this bs (literally)
