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.

I like my 100W lightbulb. My eyes strain with anything less, need a
really bright light I do, and fluorescent lights give me headaches.
