>>>> I saw on the internet a few days ago where the government is phasing out fluorescent
bulbs as of this Jan. 1, no more manufacturing them.
This is a rumor blown way out of proportion. The first to be phased out will be T12s of a certain sizes and temperature rating. Approximately a year later more T12s with broader temperature range. There is even one kind of T8 slated for 1-3 years down the road, but no other T8s and absolutely NO T5s are being phased out. This information as of January 2013.
