A: Wrong forum (i.e. the General Light Discussion subforum, not the /Flashlights/Incandescent Flashlights/ subforum)

B: There is already an existing thread covering this topic there.

C: Technically false:

The spending bill doesn’t actually amend the 2007 law, but does prohibit the administration from spending any money to carry out the light bulb standards — which amounts to at least a temporary reprieve.

Stated another way:

Congress approved the standards in 2007 [...] which remain in effect even if they will not be enforced.

D: Closed. :ironic:
