Besides, I don't know if "banning" is the right term. More like "phasing out". It's not like the stormtroopers are kicking in doors and breaking old lightbulbs. Over a period of years the old, inefficient and polluting lightbulbs will be replaced by more efficient, cleaner lightbulbs.
I really don't see how that can be a negative thing. Who loses? Do we lose the freedom to choose old lightbulbs instead of new ones? I suppose, but that's really only a philosophical negative, and it doesn't have much application in the real world.

OK who cares about bulbs, but whats next? Cars, planes, electrical appliances...where does it stop?
If the mindset of people will be "meh its just a stupid bulb" it will be too late when the government bans something else and far more important for "the good of everyone."
Its about the mindset, principle, not the bulb.
