umm wow they are making it illegal to get hid in? does that mean there will now be a black market for HID bulbs..? selling for 300 a peice?? wow thats kinda crazy

 

[HillBillMt]

[darko_G]

* 2012: Phase out of high-pressure sodium (HPS) standard quality lamps (only E27/ E40/ PGZ12 affected).

Nothing to see here folks... move along. (They're NOT going to ban HID HPS lamps)

Stay Safe!

we are only going to ban the automatic rifles,,,,, yeah rite

I can see many legit needs of an individual for different light bulbs. But WTF is the legit need for a semi-automatic rifle where individuals are concerned??? They should ban rednecks!!!!!

I can even find legit uses for my semi auto 12ga as I shoot over 1000 pheasants, quail, chuckar, grey partridge and grouse every year. But semi-auto rifles are for killing people.

i like to shoot semi auto rifles.. shooting is fun. i will never shoot another person, but why can't i shoot a target?

and guns are great for protection. a semi auto rifle will protect you more than a bolt action rifle.

back on topic..

i doubt they are gonna ban light bulbs

eu hps fittings are e40 aint they?
i know the us has different mains plugs. but are hid fittings different also?

 

[shaunmulok]

hmm looking at the domain name; .ctledlight.co.uk, one may have reason to do further research before some knee jerk chicken little reaction, ya think?

Your imagination is quite limited. You never had FUN with something by using it in a way it wasn't designed for? Quit telling ME what the fuck I can do. No, I'm not a redneck.

And no.... they're not going to ban HPS lamps that are used in literally BILLIONS of light fixtures around the globe.... in every country that has electricity.

They're banning older technology that's nearly phased out anyway.

Stay Safe!

Stay Safe and Stay Calm... the bulbs mentioned in the article are the ones we all use here in EUROPE mate... perhaps the ratings are different in the US but quit yelling at people who're telling you something they KNOW to be true....anyways the article is bullshit, so it matters not a jot

fer wen da zombeez take over da earfs, an da redneks r da wunz dat survivez!!

(seriously, making comments like that will get you visited by someone named "billy-joe-jim-bob-jimmy-james", who would love to stick a .338 lapua in your ear)

legit reason for a semi auto rifle= they are fun to shoot

that's like saying "whats a legitimate reason for owning a Bugatti Veyron?, you can't drive anywhere at it's top speed legally except the autobahn."

yet there's a 3 year waiting list.

I'll agree with the above poster in that you are rather limited in the brain pan.

and who cares if the UK is phasing out older, non efficient HPS bulbs?,.........I say good riddance,.......do you all use wheels on your vehicles made from wood?
