Brought to you by the same clowns who gave you low-flush (no-flush) toilets.
Buy up the old bulbs now - they will be as valuable as freon soon.
Even when people are forced to act one way they tend to do something to make up for it. For example, I notice that when flushing I tend to hold the handle down until the entire flush is done instead of the old method of just giving the handle a push and release. I doubt that saves as much water as the environmentalists said it would.
Similarly I expect that people will come out with "yellow" shades to adjust the harsh color of the fluorescent light which will also dim the light some and require higher wattage bulbs to give the same total light. Now if they could just come out with a DC fluorescent bulb which doesn't have that just noticeable flicker.
I love no flush toilets. You have to flush them MORE OFTEN and use MORE WATER than before. These lawmakers are clueless.
