Whilst I'm fully in agreement with saving energy wherever possible I
find it absurd that they intend withdrawing a product where there is not
an equivalent alternative available. Low Energy bulbs are a very
compromised replacement in terms of  brightness, start time, colour
spectrum and dim ability - as well as looking cosmetically awful.
Existing automation / dimming systems are nearly all going to have to
replaced, albeit I am aware that dim compatible bulbs are supposedly
imminent.   Inparticular the imminent withdrawal of 150W bulbs in Jan 08
(although I dont use any) , when no equivalent is available seems crazy.
