What are we meant to do with all the security lights where CFLs won't
work?

I doubt if linear halogen lights will be eradicated in the short
term. However, low powered dusk to dawn lights are better at
deterring criminals.

Probably true.



What about my sitting room lights on a dimmer?

Very inefficient. Dimmed bulbs consume nearly as much electricity as
undimmed ones.

Aesthetic requirement. Customer requirements are not all about efficiency.



What about my "candle" bulb fittings where a CFL won't fit?

like won't fit?

Visually, no.



How am I meant to recycle those pesky CFLs when I can't dispose of them
in the rubbish (landfill prohibition)?

Ask your council.

Tried that. Not interested.
