Light bulb ban set to take effect

Light bulb manufacturers will cease making traditional 40- and 60-watt light bulbs - the most popular in the country - at the start of 2014, according to a CNNMoney report.

The rules were signed into law by President George W. Bush in 2007. They are designed to address gross inefficiencies with old light bulbs, according to the report.
