Traditional lamps

[Spark123]

Just reading an snippet of info in this months Which magazine;
"The government plans to ban the manufacture of traditional light bulbs in an effort to get people to switch to energy-saving equivalents. Replacing a 100-watt traditional bulb will save electricity and knock around £6 off your annual bill"
Hope they remember to ban the manufacture of dimmer switches too......

Not if, as is the vogue, that 100W GLS lamp is replaced by four of those fecking halogen downlights it won't.
