In all fairness, I know they may not be the most environmentally sound. But they are amazing for illustration.

Lit by energy-saving lamps, of course. It makes me think of a science fiction scenario where artists will have to find incandescent bulbs on the black market, in a seedy part of town.

Energy consumption isn't the only issue here, what about people who suffer from migraines and headaches as a result of incorrect lighting?

They do not feel happy and think they were mis-directed by the commission and the industry into believing the ban would be happily accepted by consumers!

Anyway consumers do have a choice and is responsible for their choices. I do agree that incandescent lamp is already part of our culture. It should not be banned.

In particular in these areas, where the houses are very small, the heat distributed by traditional incandescent bulbs made a contribution towards warming a room - which is no more the case with CFLs. My wife and I have been using them for some time now and a few important things have surfaced. They are supposed to last for a very long time, but they don't. It's more expensive by far (all things considered) to have CFLs in stead of incandescent bulbs. The most important thing of all, however, has to do with safety issues. Apparently it's a health hazards when they break and nobody ever educated people what to do in a situation like that. Finally, how do you dispose of CFLs? They should not be dumped at the ordinary dumping sites. In South Africa CFL’s have been distributed by the millions, in particular in poor areas.
