    It doesn’t ban any rights to buy, just to sell. It’s no different than laws preventing bakeries from selling adulterated bread. Incandescent bulbs aren’t as good at producing light as LEDs, and they are more expensive to operate. The law basically prevents people from falling prey to the boots theory. The main thing incandescent bulbs are good for is producing heat, and you can still buy them for that purpose.
