Selling Incandescent Light Bulbs As Heating Devices

Csiko writes "The European Union has banned by law trading of incandescent light bulbs due to their bad efficiency/ecology (most of the energy is transformed into heat). A company is now trying to bypass this restriction by offering their incandescent light bulb products as a heating device (article in German) instead of a light device. Still, their 'heat balls' give light as well as heating. So — every law can be bypassed if you have some creativity!"

Funny how I never bought a "bad light" before CFLs were around. Sure, you can get a good CFL if you spend $20 on it, but what's the point in that?

I think you explain his point perfectly with your statement. CFLs are bad lights.
