Its not a ban,

Since when was an incandesant Effecient, do you know only 4-7 watts
of a 100w bulb are out put as actual Light you can see, the rest is
heat, Thats effecient? Put in 11, 100w bulbs and you have a 1000w
heater, and now pay more to run the AC to remove that heat, and
release more mercury from Coal plants to run that AC, They should be
Taxed to death and CFLs rebated, not banned.

Poe is a moron and so are you for not seeing the facts and posting
this crap, incandesants should have limited use in todays world

Seen any CFL's that'll work outdoors in the winter?
I need a few for my yard lights.

Got any that'll work on 3V DC? Need some for my flashlights. Will
CFL's work in cars? Lots of incandescents there.

Low voltage incandescents are not affected by the energy legislation.
