Halogen bulbs are so 1990. Xenon is where it's at now. The burn far, far cooler. Just a better light.
I'm guessing within 15 years California will be banning CFLs and ordering folks to use the new and improved LED lights.
I'm guessing this article isn't really accurate. There's no way you can ban all incandescent lighting. No MR16s? Do they realize how many of them are installed, everywhere?? You can't fit a CFL into one of those nifty little luminaires. Also, retrofitting all A-19 lamps with CFLs will look stupid in recessed downlighting. Those things just look like giant turds poking out of the housing.
What they should ban is neon lighting. There are far better alternatives out there right now, with LED strip lighting. Neon lights (burnt out ones, at least) are a very dangerous fire hazard, and should be eliminated. But I guess they're only getting at energy usage here.
