Question: are incandescent bulbs banned uk?
Answer: Incandescent bulbs had been the standard lighting method in the UK for more than a century after taking over from tallow candles. But following an EU directive, the Government banned the import of 100-watt bulbs from 2009, followed by a ban on 60w bulbs in 2011 and a full ban on all 'traditional' bulbs in 2012.
