Canada bans incandescent light bulbs. [View all]
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/incandescent-light-bulb-ban-starts-jan-1-1.2479868I didn't even know about this myself till today lol.
Starting today the sale of all 75 watt and 100 watt bulbs will be phased out. 40 watt and 60 watt bulbs to follow at the end of the year.
Interesting I wonder how this will effect the price of CFLs, which are already now fairly affordable, and LEDs?
Also I wonder if we will start to see CFLs in other shapes and sizes. We have a few fixtures around the house that take small incandescents for which I've yet to see a CFl replacement.
Ultimately it will be nice to see LEDs replace all the above.
