Incandescent bulb will cost 5 to 10 times the original purchase price of the bulb itself during its lifetime.

Phasing in the requirements for the new generations lights would make transition easier. Government buildings phase 1, Public Buildings Phase 2 then private structures last. We have used the old technology for 125 years change is hard. Lets hope the metric system isn't next!
