As you might recall, the incandescent bulb phase-out stems from the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007). A section of this Act has adopted the title of Incandescent ban over the last few years, except it is not really a ban at all.
By law, regular 60-, 75-, and 100-watt incandescent bulbs cannot be made anymore, but you can still buy old inventory and you can still get halogen bulbs, which can put out about 1,500 lumens. Incandescent three-way bulbs are not included in the ban, and many of them are claimed to be 150 watts or around 2,150 lumens.
