What's funny, is that incandescent bulbs aren't really getting banned.
The law requires blubs that are something like 25% more efficient.
Halogen (filament-based) bulbs will still be legal, as well as any
incandescent that someone figures out how to make more efficient.
Of course, everyone doesn't bother looking at what's happening, and says
OMG! CHANGE! WTF!
