fear of not being able to buy them in the future

Different people have different opinions. According to Jack Lurie of Tropical Hardware in Fort Myers, "They see light led high bay light as an investment. They just want to screw in a bulb and they want light."  He said people are stock-piling the old incandescents, for fear of not being able to buy them in the future.

"I don't like it one bit. If they have a new product, then put it out there and let us decide whether to buy it. But don't tell us, you have to do this. That is government intrusion," said Patty Eppler of Fort Myers. "I prefer the incandescents and I will stay with them as long as I can."Donna Croddy of Lee Lighting told WINK News: it is time for a change to a better technology than incandescents.  "That is a 135-year-old technology. It's time. God bless Thomas Edison, but it's time."

According to Amrit Manwani, an alumnus of IIT-Kanpur, LEDs will take the place of conventional streetlights by 2020. He thought that the LEDs consume one-third of the power consumed by the conventional streetlights and also illuminate a larger area. Due to less power consumption, the LED bulbs and tubelights would become a part of every household.
