EU Phase-Out of Incandescent Bulbs Set to Begin. By Tom Young, BusinessGreen, August 24, 2009. "Countries across the E.U. will begin to phase out the use of traditional light bulbs from next week, in a move designed to cut CO2 emissions by one million tonnes a year by 2020. The Eco Design of Energy-using Products Directive was passed last December and will restrict the manufacture and import of frosted incandescent light bulbs over the next three years before imposing a full ban in 2012. Under the legislation, 100W light bulbs will be banned from 1 September, with lower wattages targeted one by one over the next three years."
