Rejected petition Investigate why Light bulbs are now so expensive, please

More details

I am incandescent with rage over the price of light bulbs.

There can be no logical reason why the price has risen by such a massive percentage over recent years.

Please ask the European Commission to lift the ban on the manufacture of Incandescent light bulbs. Is this yet another example of consumers in the UK being "scammed" by European regulations?
