Default Light bulbs - more upcoming bans - update

Just got this via a mail shot:

http://www.lampspecs.co.uk/LBB.pdf

I'm not affiliated with the company (though I do recommend them as a
satisfied customer).

In summary, affected bulbs to be banned from September 2009 (a real ban this
time, not a voluntary agreement) include:

Halogen tubes 75W (eg security lights)
Lots of frosted and pearl lamps, including G9, GLS, candle and halogena
lamps [ These may still be available in clear glass format, but only up to
60W or 75W].

That's a rough summary - best read the leaflet yourselves.

On the plus side, lamp vendors are recession proof, at least for this
year ;-

Cheers

Tim
