100-watt bulbs to be banned in EU from next week - Naveed Yaseen - 08-27-2009 07:09 AM

BRUSSELS: The classic 100-watt light bulbs will be banned in Europe’s shops from next week in favour of new energy-saving models, with consumer groups on Wednesday giving the move a guarded welcome.

From September 1, 100-watt versions of the old incandescent bulbs will be banned from Europe’s shops and other bulbs with lower wattage will follow in the ensuing years, under a system suggested by EU experts last December. afp
