Incandescent light bulbs are officially banned in the U.S.::America’s ban on incandescent light bulbs, 16 years in the making, is finally a reality. Well, mostly.

    Yes they can. Also your fridge and oven will still have incandescent bulbs because more efficient lights aren’t great at operating in extreme temperatures.

    manufacturers can still build and stores can continue selling:

    Appliance lamps, including fridge and oven lights
    Black lights
    Bug lamps
    Colored lamps
    Infrared lamps
    Left-handed thread lamps
    Plant lights
    Floodlights
    Reflector lamps
    Showcase lamps
    Traffic signals
    Some other specialty lights, including marine lamps and some odd-sized bulbs

      We have an LED light bar in our deep freezer and also our mini fridge. LEDs seem to work absolutely fine in the cold actually.
