The official phasing out of old style 100W incandescent lightbulbs begins across Europe from the start of September, as part of the EU’s eco-design for energy-using products regulations. Under the terms of the legislation, which was agreed last year, the manufacture and import of the 100W bulbs will be restricted, although retailers will be able to sell their existing stocks. A phase out of lower wattage versions of the old style lightbulbs will begin in 2012.
Energy-efficient ‘compact fluorescent lamps’ (CFLs) are now available in a full range of shapes and sizes, and use up to 80% less energy than their incandescent equivalents.

Saving energy means saving money. By implementing the practical measures recommended in the Energy Performance Certificate, real reductions in homeowners' fuel bills will be seen.
29% of the UKs carbon dioxide emissions come from the energy we use in our homes. This equates to about 6 tonnes per year. By following the advice contained in the EPC, we can all help slow down the effects of climate change and global warming.
