Light bulbs being banned! [UPDATE]

This is just too much. What about my sewing machine lightbulbs that cost $15 each - are they going to be banned as well?

I'll be down at the supermarket stocking up on those soft tone lightbulbs that I like having in my sidelamps by the bed.

Oh and get this. The fluorescent bulbs tend to blow if you use a dimmer switch on them! Wonderful! All the big who har about how they last longer, bladde-blah-de-blah and just apply a dimmer to them and they blow up!

UPDATE: I was listening to NewsTalk ZB talkback this morning, and it seems alot of people are 1) incensed that the normal lightbulb will be banned and 2) going out to stock up on normal lightbulbs. Looks like the greenie religion is not quite as entrenched as the government thinks it is!

  1. already have them installed so not phased. ha!

    I imagine specialist bulbs will still be imported or maybe there are led alternatives that the berlina shop isn't supplying.
