Starting September 1st, 2009, the EU has banned the importation of incandescent bulbs. You can still sell the bulbs but you can no longer import and restock. This is a huge move as incandescent bulbs waste most of the energy through heat output and not light. A similar ban of incandescent imports will start in the US sometime in 2012.

This is a great announcement as people and companies are forced to switch to compact fluorescent lighting and LED lights which are more energy efficient and last much longer.
