As the incandescent will gradually fade out from lighting stage, Home Depot is ready to help people to adapt this change.
All Home Depot stores are hosting how-to workshops the next two Saturdays at 10 a.m. to teach people about fluorescent and LED lighting. Managers say their employees have been trained to answer whatever questions come up.
The deadline for the switch to more energy efficient bulbs is in September, but leaders at Home Depot say the phasing out will happen earlier. They aren't ordering anymore and will soon be out of stock.
