Interesting newspaper article:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...bulbs-millions-clearing-shelves-supplies.html
It says that the EU will ban the sale of traditional 100w bulbs from September this year, but criminal charges for anyone still selling them won't happen until 2016.
Stock up now!
A 20w energy saving bulb in my house packed up after just 3 months of very low use. The box said it would last 10 years. The traditional 100w bulb it replaced had been in use 20+ years and hadn't failed. I am going to take the energy saver back if I can find the receipt.
