My initiative is being used to stock up on incandescent bulbs while
they are still available. Already have a good stock, and plan to have
a basement full of them by the time they are banned. We prefer the
light given off by incandescents and are willing to pay extra to
run them.



You'll always be able to get incandescents, the ban doesn't cover very
slightly more efficient halogen lamps and those put off incandescent light.

Some incandescent technology might come down the pike to produce light
efficiently - isn't the sulphur lamp an incandescent lamp?
