is it just the production of most standard light bulbs that has to stop on
01-09-09 or do i have to stop selling them as well, i keep getting mixed answers from people.
a definite answer would be good. 😕Re: can i sell bulbs!
Hi bzz
as you say production will stop on the 1st Sept, Selling these is perfectly legal after this date. Just make sure you have enough as they will become very tight as soon as the darker nights draw in. CTC, CEF and Devondale among others have plenty in stock at the moment locally. The only trouble is we don`t know how many more are in the supply chain.
Loads of our our customers are stockpiling them as they don`t like the low energy lamps for a variety of reasons.
HTH 🙂

I`ve probably got a couple of thousand in total of the 40, 60 and 100w B.C. gls pearl in stock at the moment in readiness for the mad stampede 😆

Re: can i sell bulbs!
Was listening to the tail end of a phone in on radio 2 today on the subject of the phasing out of incandescent bulbs.. most callers seemed hostile to the idea.
It wasnt so much that they were misty eyed about the imminent demise of the filament bulb, more that they just could’nt get on with CFL’s.
I can kinda understand that argument, have bought quite a few compact fluorescent bulbs that were really crap, but the current Philips ones are absolutely fine IMO.Its likely LED’s will be the next thing in low energy illumination, less than half the consumption of CFL’s & 100,000 hours life.
NOT much good to those making part of their living from selling bulbs i’ll admit, but we really do have to try to offset our ever increasing energy consumption . All the more juice left over to run the 60″ plasmas & colossal fridge/freezers i see in a lot of 3 bed semis :rolls:Re: can i sell bulbs!
I have tried the low energy lamps and whilst they are Ok for ambient lighting I have difficulty with reading with them and many people with sight problems worse than mine will have greater problems.
I have stocked up with old style bulbs to see me through my old age and I would advise anyone else to do the same pending the introduction of better quality low energy products.
Isn’t the EEC wonderful! 😈Steve
Re: can i sell bulbs!
It bugs me when you go into a dark kitchen or any kitchen on a dark day and ask them to put the light on and this piddling little bulb flickers into life with about as much power as a candle. 😥
