Incandescent light bulb
By Chuck “Caveman” Coker on flickr
Last production date: Sept. 2010
The incandescent light bulb (invented by Thomas Edison) has been phased out.
Our last major factory that made incandescent light bulbs
closed in September 2010. In 2007, Congress passed a measure that will ban incandescents by 2014, prompting GE to close domestic factory.
Note: A reader pointed out that the Osram/Sylvania Plant in St. Mary's, Penn.is still producing light bulbs to fill old and international contracts. However, the plant has announced plans to wind down incandescent production.
