Thread Name: BS: Replacements for incandescent lights
Subject: BS: Replacements for incandescent lights
The Government(UK) has stated that incandescent light bulbs will be phased out in the next four years. What do you replace them with if you get migraine headaches from flourescent light bulbs/strips?
My wife does, so I expect that we will have to stock pile a lifetime's supply of filament bulbs before they disappear.

Also, can you get low energy bulbs in all the different sizes and shapes that are needed to fit in some of these odd light fittings?

And what about my 1970s "Astra lamp" that needs the heat as well as the light, also coal effect electric fires that do the same etc.?

I presume that this does not apply to vehicles?
