Ireland Moves to Ban Icandescent Light Bulbs

December 12th, 2007 by admin General Stuff

Gormley lights the way with ban on bulbs: This sounds a little harsh, but it needs to happen.

Ireland yesterday became the first country in the world to ban the traditional lightbulb.

Householders will be forced to switch to new long-life low-energy bulbs in 12 months’ time.

New legislation is being introduced banning the sale of the normal incandescent lightbulb from January, 2009.

The incandescent lightbulb must die. Yes, I know the light from CFLs looks a little different. Tough. Saving the world takes sacrifice. Get over it.
