The CFLs seem to still be available, but nobody cares about them anymore. I could go out and buy a pack of CFLs if I wanted to, but I already have loads of them.

the Walmart around here does not seem to stock them anymore but Meijers does... not sure what to think yet, either way they're likely going away sometime in the near future.

Quote from: Lodge on January 01, 2018, 11:07:11 PM Walmart was pretty open about this, they are no longer carrying CFL's, they are moving to all LED the article about it can be found Here they were also the first retailer to get rid of incandescent bulbs as well.. I did not realize they got rid of incandescent lamps... the one around here still stocks a good supply of them... perhaps some stores did not embrace the change due to demand?

Same thing here, integrated cfls are mostly gone. Some bigger chains still have few basic lamps available and some cheap-shops sell those burn-down-your-house kits I.E most cheapest CFLs with 1-2 eur price.

Walmart here still has incandescent but no CFL. I did see CFL at Lowes. Not sure about Home Depot.

Collect vintage incandescent and fluorescent fixtures. Also like HID lighting and streetlights.

The only helicraps I see at Walmart are blacklight blue as they are a quarter the price of UV LED lamps.

I honestly couldn't tell you with the stores here .lol. I'm not really a fan of CFL's and haven't bothered to pay attention to what the stores have/don't have...

CFL depletion hasn`t quite hit the UK stores yet, I was in B+Q Manchester the other day, (getting 2 4000K, 1500 lumen LED lamps), and theres just as many CFL still on the shelves as there are LED, but I am noticing less and less people using CFL about today.

There are still a few in our local Morrisons, but the shelves are mainly LED with a fair few halogens.

Home Depot and Lowes still carry CFLs in 40-100w equivalents, but they're restricted to like just one shelf and placed where shoppers barely notice. There are more halogens and LEDs on the shelves now.
