No official legislation has been passed or gone into effect. I think the U.S. is now toying with the idea.

Which other jurisdictions have passed such legislation? Hi Tyler, Do you know whether legislation has actually passed yet in Ontario or Australia banning energy inefficient lighting?

However, having grown up in Ottawa I can assure anonymous that it does indeed get down to -40 in the winter; maybe not as much as in Dryden but often enough to create the same problems he alludes to, so I doubt that there's a problem here.

But how do you feel about this move to ban the bulb? Does it really make sense to ban something like this... why not just tax it to the point that it makes CFL's look cheap? ie. $*** per bulb based on wattage. Some people will still require them for specialty application. Maybe take that tax and put it into rebates for the most efficient lighting out there. LED's, CFL's, CCFL's and such... Hmmm...

Yes temps do get this cold. Is northwestern ontario going to have street lights or outdoor house lights in the winter? Ottawa needs to think about us in northwestern ontario or let us be part of manitoba where we will be considered and understood. What type of bulb will work outdoors when the temp falls to -40?

Love they leave the door open to innovation, in a performance-first approach, instead of prescribing tech. Hope this is being applied broad-spectrum (RDR!) meaning to all lighting uses including architectural and emergency/construction. Thanks to everyone who yanked their chain on this! Awesome!
