Yes it is a real shame and a disgrace that this has happened.  However for us enthusiasts, we probably have a good supply of lamps to last for many years. Today I just received a nice box of CFLs in several wattages and colours. Fortunately there will be still be a few years to find plenty of fluorescent lamps on eBay, Gumtree, Facebook marketplace etc.

I'm always interested in exchanging lamps with others. Send me a message if you would be interested in a trade.

According to this document from Feilo-Sylvania, T9 circline fluorescent lamps are exempt from the ban until February 2025: https://www.sylvania-lighting.com/media/6587/european-legislation-changes-leaflet_en_hr.pdf

I wonder if fluorescent lamps in the EU will become “rare” within less than 10 years due to businesses being required to recycle all of their NOS banned lamps.

I haven't heard it going as far as that...  And good luck trying to enforce it...

Let it go.  Stop the trash talk, it won't do any good.
