Another instance where the market finds a way to supply a demand that is limited by the government.


Ingenious German entrepreneurs figure out a way around the incandescent light bulb ban
OCTOBER 20, 2010 · 18 COMMENTS

The eco-wackos have succeeded in banning the standard incandescent light bulb, leaving us with those ugly, mercury-filled, twisty bulbs. But two German entrepreneurs have figured a way to turn liberal stupidity on itself and get around the ban at the same time.

Sweet.

Also, you'd think the ecologically-inclined would be against products filled with mercury.

They shouldn't be banned but I prefer CFLs in most cases. They produce less heat and use less energy. I only like the incandescent in the bedroom because I think florescent are not as warm, and interfere with your sleep. I'm not scared of mercury either.
Some devices need incandescent. Using CFLs in my motion detected lights always breaks the bulbs. Also, most cannot be used with dimmers.
