@CaptSolo there is no 'ban' on incadescent bulbs, there are simply efficiency standarts - lumens per watt, and those bulbs do not pass. | |

@aigarius so _effectively_ there is a ban (they knew incandescent bulbs won't pass). result's the same -- you won't be able to buy them. | |

@aigarius in northern countries like Latvia or Finland the extra heat given by incandescent bulbs can be a good thing. | |

@CaptSolo there are some incadescent bulbs that do pass, at least in US there are, not sure it they are sold here too. | |

@aigarius well, halogen lamps could be used instead. | |
