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.
Light bulbs account for about 5% of the electricity bill of the average US household. Although other energy savers will have a larger effect, replacing incandescent bulbs is always worth it in the long term: Replacing a traditional incandescent bulb with a compact fluorescent light (CFL) will typically pay for itself within 9 months.
