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.

I expect they'll appoint a bulb czar and a 2,000 strong bulb squad who
will use terrorist legislation to infiltrate bulb smugglers. Isn't Jim
Gamble after a new job?
