Has Congress Gone To Far?

Should congress tell us which light bulbs we can use?
I have Compact Fluorescent Bulbs (CFL) in my home already. It almost makes me want to get rid of them and buy regular incandescent bulbs. I do save about 20% a month on my electrical since I switched but telling me which bulbs i have to use, come on.
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
Samuel Adams

Just like they're making us convert to HDTV next year, they can and should tell us to convert to CFL.

Congress will keep on the CFL until enough deaths occur from it. The bulbs are toxic if broken. How many people are going to die before Congress gets scared... who knows?
If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin

Congress only has the power to regulate interstate commerce. Technically, if someone makes light bulbs in a state, and sells only in that same state, Congress has no authority over it.
Liberty is the greatest measure of equality.

You are correct, but then the Court hasnt actually enforced that in decades.

I'm willing to pay extra for incandescent bulbs, and the warm light they emit.
I may have to stockpile.
