Are we talking here about the old filament bulbs? I thought the
government pretended these were the devil's work? If so, does this
mean that filament bulbs are coming back?

However, even though I don't like the way the new-style bulbs ("CFL"?)
come on dimly, then grow brighter over the next few minutes, they do
cost a lot less to run, no? (Although if one is in the habit, as I am,
of switching lights off when leaving a room, the saving must be
minimal over the course of a year, specially since domestic lighting
is minimally required in the summer months, anyway.)
