A vintage-style incandescent light bulb, center, is shown with an LED light bulb, left, and a compact florescent light bulb on Dec. 27 in Chicago. On Jan. 1, manufacturers will stop producing the standard 40- and 60-watt incandescent light bulbs in the United States. The 75 and 100 watt bulbs were discontinued in 2013. These incandescent bulbs, which have been in use for more than 100 years, are being replaced by the more energy efficient compact florescent and LED light bulbs. (Getty images photo/Scott Olson)
