Some rooms have low voltage halogen downlighters. What am I supposed
to replace *those* with?
There's no 'supposed' about it.

OK, so what *is* the situation? If these are to be banned, the 'powers
that be' have *hopefully* thought about a suitable replacement which
doesn't involve demolishing and re-building my house?
If the powers that be didn't enforce downlighting on you then they have
no responsibility to replace them.

I don't think that's a fair point though. I mean has anyone been forced to
use petrol
perhaps then we should ban it ;-)


Leaded petrol WAS banned.

Today's fuel; for cars - even the cars themselves - one day will be banned
ifonly by people, because there are better alternatives.

Dont be sillier than you have to be.

IC Cars will no more be banned than horses or steam engines are.
They will exist, in tiny numbers, like you, as a quaint relic of a
bygone age.
