Found an article confirming that Canada is full-blown banning incandescent light bulbs in homes by 2012:

I remember them being REALLY expensive at first. Looks like technology is driving the price down :thumbup:.

My only question is how will my lava lamp work if incandescent bulbs are no longer sold at stores? :o I can just see rampant the light-bulb smuggling across the border :D

That is one of the things that helps sell my family (and me) on them. I can put in a brighter bulb, leave it on 24 hours a day, and still use less electricity than the incandescent I replaced. And with the time I save not having to replace bulbs so often, I can conduct classes on "turning off lights when leaving a room." :-)

I'm real bad for leaving lights on everywhere I go. I used to have a motion-sensor light switch in my room that shut off the light after 5 minutes or so, but it's kinda annoying if I'm not moving around much. They should make body-heat-sensing light switches :thumbup:.

Mmm-hmm. I'd put them in every room.
