Did you know that as of Jan 1. 2012, you would no longer be able to purchase 100w incandescent light bulbs. The plan was to be for 75w to be replaced in 2013, and 60w and less in 2014. 

There has been a temporary hold, according to a post from CNN, on this until at least September of 2012, so you can still continue to purchase these bulbs. These are mainly used in garages, basements, anywhere you would need to light a large area with a single bulb. 

The purpose of this was to use a more effiecient compact flourescent bulb (CFL) or LED. These bulbs typically cost a little more, however save on the energy costs.
