INCANDESCENT LIGHT BULBS OUTLAWED - The European Union pulled the plug on the traditional light bulb yesterday when it agreed to start banning them within a year. The fade-out, to make way for energy-efficient bulbs, could begin as early as September with a ban on the 100-watt bulb, EU experts agreed in Brussels. It would be extended to lower wattages, with a complete ban of the familiar incandescent bulb across all EU states by 2012.

High power LED light bulbs are more expensive than other types of light bulb but they are designed last for up to 50,000 hours, that’s more than ten years, so the initial cost is easily made up for.
The cost of switching to LED can be spread by replacing old bulbs as they blow. Most conventional light bulbs only last about twelve months so the total cost is likely to be spread over at least a year.  LED lights require zero maintenance and will not need to be replaced for a decade. 
LED lighting advances have been overshadowed by ‘curly’ compact fluorescent light bulbs as an alternative to the power hungry, soon to be outlawed, incandescent light bulb. Recent concerns over the safe disposal of CFL bulbs and international pressure to conserve the environment has resulted in government level promotion of LED as the future of lighting.
Many ‘energy saving’ light bulbs are routinely criticised for providing poor brightness levels and light colour. The ‘flickering’ nature of some fluorescent lights has adverse effects in a work environment. High power LED provides a true ‘white’ light that is extremely close to natural daylight. High power LED lights are available in ‘cool white’ and ‘warm white’ colours.
Unlike many light bulbs high power LED lights do not contain harmful chemicals, are safe to handle and can be recycled.
