Incadescent Bulbs ban happening in Sept (Europe)

[t®oUbLe]

Sorry if this has been mentioned already
Just a reminder to the Europeans of this forum (I wouldve posted in the euro section of this forum but I dont think everyone checks it very often)

The 100wt conventional incadescent bulb is being banned in Europe from Sept onwards
I'm not sure if 'conventional' includes spots
But just incase, those of you that use it either need to stock up now or find another way of heating up your vivs (Halogens pump out a good bit of heat)
Theres a bit of a mad rush on these bulbs in europe now apparently

That's interesting. It sure will make things difficult for you.

Is this for all incandescent bulbs, including those used exclusively in the pet trade? I know California was considering this same thing, but basking bulbs, etc. were exempt.
