Hi, that's technically incorrect. It's forbidden to sell them as a general home light source, it's legal to sell them for special uses. The net result is that you can still buy them everywhere (supermarkets, online, etc), only they're labeled as a "shock-resistant light bulb, not for home use" or as a "glowing electrical heater". The price is up about 5% and quality is slightly lower (shorter life) as now they're all from China, local factories were unfortunately closed following the ban. Overall, it's a ridiculously dead law.
If you live in eu country and you really can't buy them locally (which would be really weird), I guess I could buy some and send them to you
An account called "cheapviagra" that makes (so far) only useful, intelligent, relevant comments? Whatnow?
Mission.
Fucking.
Accomplished.
I could probably buy them locally if I tried enough but they are certainly not everywhere. The "glowing heater" versions, when found, are often darkly coloured to reduce the glow to a level which makes them useless as light source. The law isn't completely dead around here. My main problem is that it is difficult to obtain an equivalent of a 200W bulb, since such strong fluorescent or LED sources aren't generally available.
I would expect this to be the case in Germany, but not in Czech Republic, as I have now looked at your profile. In Poland they're as available as before the ban and the only difference is a "not for home use" sticker added or printed on a box... when laws are stupid it's good they're being ignored.

I've populated my house with 30W 6400K fluorescents, which claim to be 150W equivalent. Put two of those next to each other. (One is bright enough for me in practice, fwiw.)
