I do not think anyone actually knows what they are going to do to be honest. I will be contacting my Local MP about these bans. I know i am going to try and do everything i can.

Copied and pasted from Osram's document. Does this mean the lamps are really not banned at all, simply withdrawn from sale to users? Definition of phase-out: Phasing out means that the relevant product groups may no longer be placed on the market in the European Union. This relates to initial marketing only. Stocks at OEMs, wholesalers and end customers are not affected of course and may continue to be sold and used as they are already on the market and the measures do not relate to the use of the products.

Not really. "Placing on the market" mean manufacturing and/or importing into the Europe. So "phased out" lamps, that are already physically present in he Europe may be freely redistributed, traded and so on. So you only can not manufacture, nor import e.g. light bulbs. But you may freely make frosted "heat bulbs, that happen to emit light as well" of any wattage, but this is another story... :-D

I don't know why about the incandescent lamps ban in Israel, however, about more then 50% of the houses in Israel, have energy saving lamps, almost all of them are CFLs.

But they were officially 100W heaters (i guess they were really officially declared so in the papers), so there is no ground for stopping them for the 244/9 act...
