If incandescent lamps are no longer manufactured some day, that would
mean no decorative lamps! And what about "appliance" lamps (for inside
the oven and refrigerator)?

The use of those types of lamps and lamp availability are generally exempted
at the moment; but the situation is being looked at right now at both the
(US) federal and state levels in California and Nevada. There's some
concern that, as standard bulbs disappear, the consumer will simply buy
what's on the shelf (or listed at an internet store) and that purchase could
be specialty lamps like those designed for the oven or refrigerator -
whatever fits in the socket. That's just a guess, though, especially as
there are likely to be alternative products, perhaps using LEDs, designed to
fit into such sockets.

Ovens could be made with a light pipe feeding the light into the oven from
a distance where the light source is. That light pipe glass would also have
an IR blocking filter (heat mirror). Then any kind of light technology can
be used.

I would be very concerned with the risk of contamination due to bulb
damaged inside a food cooking device.
