Eco-bulb cost to treble: Makers cash in as the ban on old-style bulbs kicks in | Mail Online

The price of energy-saving light bulbs will treble as the final supplies of traditional bulbs dry up, industry experts have warned.

At the same time, manufacturers are increasing wholesale prices to take advantage of the European ban on ‘energy guzzling’ old-style bulbs.
