There is the possibility that the manufactures that make the household bulbs will also shutdown all production.

Incandescent ban
Which country?
Look. I've been retired 5 yrs now; and at least 5 yrs before that, distribution collectives and retail stores were officially notified that they should prepare for transitioning. The Chinese hopped on the wagon instantly and flooded the market with trashy CFL's and screw-in halogens. But the deadlines to phase out ordinary tungsten lightbulbs kept getting delayed, or there were exemptions. And there is no lightbulb police force out there to fine dealers relative to leftover inventory. But if you prefer traditional tungsten household bulbs, better buy em while you can. The big serious online bulb houses have been in compliance for quite awhile already, yet are where you can find good quality substitutes.
Well said but uhh i guess prefacing this thread with ‘i don’t want to talk politics’ was futileCFLs are off the shelves, also. It's a full-on win for the LED lobby. Whatever you say about China, all LED A19 bulbs are loaded with components made in China.
Very sensible to replace a fully-recyclable glass+metal light bulb with one made from a couple of dozen electrical components in a plastic shell. Good for the environment.
But - hey! the Life Cycle Assessment says LED bulbs have a much lower environmental impact. So whatever one may naively think may be completely wrongheaded.
Until landfills are overflowing with unrecyclable LED bulbs.

There is an old firehouse across the bay which had a specific bulb out front burning for 115 years
Don’t imagine it will stop there!
I went to Adorama to look for bulbs for my 23c II.... havent used it wtih the plain bulb... it came burnt out..
I was assumed that the 23c II used a PH-111A bulb as the lamp holder says DRAKE 75w 125V
But cant find anything other then PH-211 on adorama and am utterly confused..
But am also confused on how the hell those bulbs are removed from the lamp socket
