The incandescent light bulb, a defining invention of the late 19th century, has been banned in Australia and will soon be a thing of the past in the European Union. The incandescent light bulb with its familiar filament, developed by a succession of scientists and inventors throughout the 19th century from Sir Humphrey Davy to Thomas Edison, is deemed no longer efficient enough for the 21st century. Incandescent bulbs consume 3 to 5 times more energy than efficient lights, such as integrated compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs). The replacement of the worst-performing lamps with today’s best available technology will contribute to the reduction of domestic energy consumption for lighting by 60% in the EU, equivalent to some 30 million tons of CO2 annually.
