There is as yet no Directive.


** The ban has been announced and the process has begun.

I've seem some sensible moves towards banning just 'inefficient'
incandescents
i.e standard tungsten filament types.


** Yawn - the cretin only talks about its own demented brain.

It would be crazy to eliminate halogens.


** Many times less efficient that normal lamps in typical home usage.

The proposed MEPS will knock them out for sure.

No ban has been announced. In fact this would be a good time to lobby against
one.

Nothing will (can) legally happen until there is a relevant Directive.

Your faith in the ability of Mr Little Guy, to do anything to derail
something that has been proposed as an EU - wide directive, particularly one
that has been instigated by Germany, is touching, but sadly misplaced I
fear. Just witness how everybody thought that the nations who rose up and
voted against the constitution, had killed it dead. Now, it has just got up
again, and has sneaked round to the back door, where you can't see it ...

Well, if you accept it as a done deal obviously nothing will change.

Well I'm not the only one here, not to mention many of my friends and
aquaintences.
Have you ever measured your mains voltage? Is it within
"normal" specifications?

Yep, no problems where I live.
And maybe you missed the last dozen times I said I have NO problems with
normal fluorescent tubes and incandescent bulbs.

But is exactly what he claimed,


** Absolutely not.

What a posturing ASS claimed was not restricted to one, special sub-type
of Philip's product.

His other claim was totally false as well.

Strange, it reads that way before you snipped it :)


He never said ALL CFL's were less than 2mg, but one might reasonably expect
it to happen eventually.
However if the mercury in each lamp IS reduced by a factor of 4, and a
hundred times as many lamps are being used, what is the net result? :-(

As I said Graham, your faith in a system of democracy that allows the small
man to have a say, is heartning even, but rather out of date I think. We
have not had democracy of that sort in the UK for at least the last 10 years
( ;~} ) and probably longer. How many people marched on London opposing
the invasion of Iraq ? How many people signed the petition against
introducing road charging ? How many people voted overwhelmingly against a
European constitution ? How many people stood up and demonstrated against
crippling fuel taxes ? The list is endless, and if there are any places
where Joe Public has had any effect on what a government has decided is
'good for the people', then they are small victories indeed, and would need
a lot of looking for. With the current hype and hysteria about man-made
global warming, there is no way that Ms Merkel and her fellow
"Euro-we-know-best-ites", are going to let this one go ... I would guess
'done deal' as you say, in all but actual on the books legislation.
