Ban The Bulb

A campaign to ban domestic incandescent light bulbs and replace them with appropriate energy efficient alternative

Campaign managed by: Matt Prescott

Campaign location: United Kingdom, Oxfordshire

This campaign was launced in February 2005 and has resulted in the EU's 27 member states agreeing to phase out 100W incandescent light bulbs from Sept 2009.

It has been estimated that this change in the law will save the EU between 23 - 53 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per annum.

Thanks for all your help

Thanks for all your help during the development of this website, Matt. We made lots of adjustments based on your feedback and it's a better site as a result. Still lots to do to make it spot on, but we're hoping you like it and find it useful.

Good luck

Hi Jo,

I'm glad to hear that my feedback was useful and to see the finished product.

I wanted to come to the launch event but sadly couldn't make it, due to a busy schedule.

Please let me know if you ever need further feedback.

Keep up the good work.

Matt

Energy saving bulbs and megraine

I think this is a great idea and have changed quite a few bulbs in our flat to energy saving models.

What's your take on the new bulbs being potentially bad for migraine sufferers? I have a family history of migraine and am a bit concerned that if I change all of my bulbs I may start to suffer from them.
