    Lentil munching loons are going to ban lightbulbs in the UK

    That's great, but my house is full of halogen downlighters and dimmers.

    No doubt there'll be good money to be made importing proper light bulbs.
    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

      I read last week that energy saving lightbulbs are more of an environmental hazard than incandescent ones anyway because they contain significant amounts of mercury which leaches into the ground when they are disposed of.

                ESLB only last longer if you leave them on. Ordinary lightbulbs are far more efficient in situations where there regularly being switch on and off. More efficient than leaving an ESLB on all the time.
                Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!
