More I Told You So: The Light Bulb Ban
The NYT's Green Inc. blog reports on lighting designer Howard Brandston's objections to bans on incandescent bulbs.

Anyone who'd talked to lighting professionals, as I did for this 2003 article, would have known the problems with such (to quote the Dell exec) "total utilitarian, speed-and-specs" approaches to lighting.
