Ref the recent thread about flashing LED and incandescent lamps:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7016020.stm
''... Plans to phase out the traditional lightbulb by 2011 have been
announced by Environment Secretary Hilary Benn.
Mr Benn told the Labour conference he wanted to see an end to the sale
of 150-watt bulbs from next January.
Less powerful traditional bulbs would be taken off the shelves in
stages under the voluntary energy-saving scheme by 2011.
Greenpeace said the move was "long overdue" and would help the UK
reduce its CO2 emissions.
etc
And so our aim is for traditional 150-watt lightbulbs to be phased out
by January next year, 100-watt bulbs the year after, 40-watt bulbs the
year after that and all high-energy lightbulbs by 2011."
Mr Benn estimated that the move would save five million tonnes of CO2
a year
etc
etc
