Default Sale of Incandescent Bulbs to End on Tuesday?

I read in a newspaper on Sunday or Monday that sale of the above would
be illegal in the UK after the coming Tuesday.

So I stocked up on some 40W SES bulbs for my lava lamp in Sainsbury's
last night.

But is this true? There are plenty of applications for incandescent
bulbs that are not simply designed for being the main light sources in
rooms.


I believe that it is only 100W bulbs and frosted pearl bulbs of other
wattages that will be banned.


You'll still be able to buy them from overseas sellers on the likes on
Ebay I should imagine.


Not legally, it will be illegal to import such items.
