Ah classic  . Of course they think of some bs on carbon emissions. All so the Liberal Eye Destroyers (LED) can become more common. I think this violates the first amendment.

Honestly, I won't miss halogen; the newer ones at least. I have had frequent issues with the MR16's; had three in the kitchen sink, and all three died within a year. However, I will miss the low wattage capsules, if they're not exempt.

Ahhh, that sucks!  But hey, at least we can get relatively inexpensive (and dimmable) LED "retrofit" lamps for our nice kitchen pendant lights and bathroom fixtures...  Plus, one is starting to corrode due to moisture and our clueless workers f'd up the threads on one of the other ones, so no huge loss as we go about our soon-to-start house rewiring project.  I agree that targeting those dumb little halogens doesn't make the most sense in the world - those 150W+ incandescent lamps seem like a much more reasonable thing to go after.  I also agree wholeheartedly that this seems kind of "nit-picky."  Seriously, do our elected officials really not have anything better to focus on?  I'd better stop before I go down a "rabbit hole" and initiate yet another "flame war" here!

Considering China's national conditions, this ban should be understood by most people, because the halogen lighting effect is too low, the life expectancy is too short, and the temperature is too high. But from my personal point of view, I obviously disagree. Because its eye protection effect is unattainable by other lamps. At present, in China, the LED color rendering index with the highest color rendering index is 99, but the actual measured color rendering index is less than 98. In other words, even the highest-end LED in China cannot completely restore natural light. Another issue is the price. Normal led bulb price of a color rendering index of 80 is below 10 pieces. Do you think it's cheap? In fact, the average price of bulbs with a true color rendering index of 98 is above ¥150/$22.07 (at today's exchange rate). The price of a halogen lamp is only about 2 US dollars, so in fact, the economy of halogen lamps is much higher than that of LEDs.

Ban this, ban that, ban the other, same old, same old. Good job we have enough stock of incandescent and halogen to see us out.

Depends where you are, they can be hard to find in some places. Certainly none on retail sale here, only eBay and similar
