    With a lot of notable exceptions

    Surprisingly, there is a whole slew of exempt special-purpose bulbs that will continue to be manufactured, according to the Energy Department. Here’s what 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

      I moved into my condo in 2010. The bathroom includes a vanity mirror with 6 incandescent bulbs over it. I only have 3 on at any given time since all 6 on at the same time is annoyingly bright. I want to replace them but it seems wasteful to chuck them in the garbage when they still work.
