So who's paying for this bit of ecobollox ... ?

I have a cupboard half full of the things which have come free in the

were 23-25W, then I could use them as 100W lamp replacements. I don't
think there's anything over 11W.
They are available but relatively expensive and not very common. Anything
over 11W needs to run cap down to avoid frying the electronics. I imagine
many shops are wary of people being unaware of the need to be cap down and
returning 20W lamps which fail rapidly when used as replacements in pendant
fittings.
