Original Note:
The new lightbulb rules only apply to bulbs producing 310 to 2,600 lumens. 300 lumens is about 30 watts for an incandescent bulb. Many decorative incandescent bulbs like the ones pictured are below 30W and will continue to be legal under the new rules. https://www.energy.gov/eere/new-energy-efficiency-standards-lightbulbs-what-you-need-know https://www.any-lamp.com/lumen-to-watt
