They are banned here and like I said in an earlier post it is a really dumb law. There is noting inherently wrong with the incandescent light bulb. Better efficiency lamps would go mainstream eventually even without the law.

That law was really dumb to. Most people where perfectly happy with standard 60W incandescent light bulbs. When the law passed a lot of people swapped over to high power halogens instead. So instead of using 60W for light people ended up using a 200W halogen or a array of 4-6 x 35W halogens = +140W. Energy savings my butt. And its not like the fluorescent bulbs are good either as you know they have quiksilver in them. As we know quiksilver is just great for the environment

I thought the old style light bulbs were already banned in the EU...the ban in the US is supposed to be in effect by 2014 I believe.

However, people need to really look into the source here...there is nearly no evidence of this happening.

Sorry folks but because this involves the EU and the legislation they are passing, the thread violates the Terms of Service.

A silly proposal yes, but it overlaps with politics, thus, cannot be allowed on overclock.net

PM me if you have any further questions.
