As you might recall, the incandescent bulb phase-out stems from the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007). A section of this Act has adopted the title of Incandescent ban over the last few years, except it is not really a ban at all.
CFLs, LEDs and some halogen bulbs meet the standard, traditional incandescents do not. So come January 1, the phase out begins with 100-watt incandescent bulbs, when they can no longer be made or imported but can be sold until supplies run out. The 75-watt fades away in 2013, and a year later itâs good-bye to 60- and 40-watt incancescent bulbs. California began its phase out last January, Europe and Australia in 2009. To find the right energy-saving bulbs for your sockets, see our Ratings of CFLs, LEDs and halogen bulbs.
