It's a plot hatched by Opticians

....incubator. My cat also likes the clip on reflector backed light we put up with a 75W about 16 inches off the floor. She lies under it and warms herself up in the winter. The clip on reflectors, look like a silver bowl with a light in the middle are in most hardware stores. It make no sense to remove incandescent bulbs in cooler climates since you benefit both from the light and the heat. That's one thing that makes it seem so funny for Canadians to be giving up incandesants indoors. I can see using the flourescent outdoors. What's saved in power to incandescents will just be used elsewhere to supply the heat they no longer do inside when the weather is cool to cold. In fact, before we put compact flourescents in the living room, I'd often hold my hands over the lamp to warm them after coming in from outdoors. It only makes sense to remove incandescents where you don't desire the higher heat output, such as warmer climates and outdoors where it's wasted. Canada would do better to just ban incandescents in outdoor fixtures and let their citizens decide what to do with them indoors.

The question of heat from incandescent bulbs becomes quite complex because the overall outcome depends on heating efficiency.

In my case, since we use a heat pump for interior heat, the loss of heat generation during the winter saves overall energy because, although the heat pump has to work a bit harder, heat pumps generate more heat per kWH of electricity than resistance heaters (like an incandescent bulb) generate. Then too, during the hot summer, the compact fluorescents significantly reduce indoor heat generation which is a good thing.

Further North, where heat pumps do not work, the trade off is electrical resistance heat from the incandescent bulb vs heat from electrical resistance furnaces (not much difference except a slight change in the load on the blower) in some homes, but in other homes the heat source might be natural gas, oil, or maybe coal? That becomes a harder comparison because the energy source is different.

... up here are remarkably bad during damp winter weather. To make heat in the house their outside coils are well below the freezing point and if there's fog or higher humidity, it just freezes all over the coils. Our neighbor had high electric bills because of it, so I fixed his switch so he could run just the 4 large backup resistance coils for heat at times. His electric bill went back down. When the heat pump iced up outside it was just running and producing no heat, just consuming power. He ended up only using it when the humidity was low, after it had gotten past that intermediate stage in fall and early spring.

I use oil in a high efficiency burner hooked to CAC in my house. I think heat pumps in colder climates might be more feasible if they were hooked into buried coils which took advantage of the natural warmth a few feet below the earth surface. I'm not sure the cost of such installation would pay for itself, but might if a small bobcat trench digger was used to lay some straight line in a few trenches between the back of a house and the rear property line, maybe corner to corner to give longer lines. Downside might be moisture in ground freezing, there'd be worse corrosive forces at work on the metal, and any leaks in the line wouldn't be easily found or repaired. there are some people who have setups like that. Maybe I can find one on the internet and link to it later.

Helps to have some yellow or brown tint in whatever covers the bulb. Here's a picture I've shown before during discussion about CF's,.
