If you can get one, I'm almost certain you can use it for anything you
like,
including domestic lighting. The ban is on *selling* them for domestic
use.
When this last cropped up I checked and the local electrical "trade
suppliers"
had rough service bulbs that would do quite nicely I think.
If you're thinking of stocking up, do so soon: I noticed that that the
local
B&Q are phasing out (no pun etc. ...) filament bulbs. I presume the
other
"sheds" are doing so too (or have already done so).
