Inefficient incandescents officially banned in the EU « on: August 27, 2009, 11:50:58 AM » Author: sparkie
The EU Government's war on incandescent bulbs will claim its first major casualties in four days time:

News Article

100w non-halogen incandescent bulbs and 25-60w 'Pearl' bulbs will be completely defeated.

25,40 and 60w clear bulbs will win this battle, but they definitely won't win the war as they are next on the plan of attack.

Well thats not good. But, Europe has WAY better CFL's than the US, like Megaman!

The future of street lighting is Induction, not nasty HPS lights or cr@ppy LED lights!
Preheat CFL's should make a comeback!
