Aussie bulbs to reduce power

I'm pleasantly surprised. It's been mentioned as an idea before but who'd have thought the Aussies would be the first to do it?

Under the Australian plan, bulbs that do not comply with energy efficiency targets would be gradually banned from sale. Exemptions may apply for special needs such as medical lighting and oven lights.
