Ok tax them, make them more expensive compared to flurescents, but to ban them entirely? What about vacuum tubes, or christmas tree lights, ornamental bulbs and car lights. Will I get arrested for passing a current through a wire so it glows? What happens to manufacturers of incandescent light bulbs, do they just have to go out of business.

Energy saving light bulbs are a bit expensive. In fact very expensive at the moment. Are they going to bring the price down? Are they going to make sure the guy who rewired my house comes back and fixes it so that my light bulbs dont pop every couple of weeks if we leave the lights on more than a couple of hours? Why arent they doing anything about the government driving round in big cars all the time. Why cant they get the bus to work like I have to? The govt have a habit of picking on one insignificant little problem to make us think they care, when it just to get votes so they can carry on running us into the ground. Damn their eyes!!

You'll still be able to use them, manufacters will get say 5 years to stop producing them(and probably a nice big pay off), sellers will be allowed to finish off their stock (so they'll buy every single one they can)
theres been similar bans in the past i.e Halon gas, certain types of fridge freezers, types of electrical wire as regulations change.
Happens everyday gotta love it.
Still we'll hopefully think its a good idea when were all floating around in the sea

No I don't think so as the EU need to really commit to reduce carbon emission. however they must ensure they cover all the issues and the more efficient bulbs are in place to cover all the necessity.
