I myself didn't know much about the new regulations until I began my research for this video so I'm glad all that studying is able to help others learn. Thanks everyone!

If new bulbs are so great, then people would buy them anyway They buy other "expensive in purchase but cheap in long run" items I just bought an expensive woollen coat.. even if was in sales :-) Thank you

However, there is one issue I'd like to clarify. You say that LEDs and CFLs are full spectrum, but that's not the case. While it's true that older LEDs and CFLs usually had high color temperatures (5000+ Kelvin), most now on the market are a warmer white (2400K to 3500K). The old "full spectrum" bulbs are a specialty item for the most part and are increasingly harder to find. Great video, as usual, Yuka! However, there is one issue I’d like to clarify.
