Not all incandescent bulbs are outlawed. Just the ones I have hoarded.
If they were significantly more energy efficient, the liberals would rewrite the law to permit that type. I didn’t see anything about how long they might last. Long life has been a big factor in my liking CFLs.

What is the downside?
That was about conventional technologies; this appears to be something akin to the halogen lamp but better and, like halogens, wouldn’t fall within that ban.
The ban was not necessary; people were already becoming aware of energy costs and if they wanted to use Edison base compatible fluorescents they could be readily had before the ban and they had been improving. I had been doing it back when the only thing along those lines was a big clunky Circline adaptor that fit in some lamps and fixtures. They lit the room up great, did not generate nearly as much heat, and had a decent life and a reasonable lamp replacement cost.
Ban? What ban? Doesn’t everybody have a real lot of light bulbs stored up?
Let’s not forget:

The final phase of a ban on incandescent light bulbs goes into effect Wednesday, leaving consumers with pricier energy-efficient options that are expected to save people money over time.
Beginning Jan. 1, the production of 40- and 60-watt incandescent light bulbs is banned as part of efficiency standards signed into law by President George W. Bush in 2007.
I never stopped using incandescent light bulbs. I just said to Congress FU.
