Fix't 'er for ya, my friend. As I recall, Dubya banned the damned things during his administration, and they were un-banned, by Deh EEE-BIL Orange Man, IIRC. (Too tired to look it up; if I'm wrong, my apologies...)

Correct. According to Fox News, Trump is quoted as saying, "They [LEDs] make me look orange." Hence the "orange man" moniker, I'd say.

I had thought that Congress ix-nayed the shift away from incandescent and CFLs, but my thinking was wrong.  :shrug:

This goes back to GWB's administration. SharterJoe was still infesting the Senate at that time.

SharterJoe took a lot of lessons from Barry Soetoro about overreach of his maladministration. Which we see damned near every day.
