QUESTION:
Are the manufacturing and/or the importing of incandescent light bulbs going to be illegal starting in 2012?
ANSWER: "Yes" and "No".
Unless groundbreaking new High Efficiency Incandescent (HEI) technology emerges as GE promises by 2010, the answer is “yes” for general use 100 Watt incandescents in 2012, and "yes" for 75 and 60 Watt bulbs by 2014, but “no” for many types of other incandescent bulbs even after 2014.
