   But normal incandescent laps are now banned from sale in Oz   
   supermarkets   
      
   ** Only the "low efficiency" GLS style in 240 volt rating.   
      
   Near identical lamps with "energy saving" on the box are still available -   
   these use a quartz / halogen bulb inside a normal looking lamp.   
      
   All manner of low powered and high powered 240 volt incandescent lamps are   
   still on sale.   
      
      
   But   
   incandescent lamps should be available at specialist lighting stores;   
   people still buy them for where dimmers are used.   
      
   **  Dichroic reflector bulbs are still available everywhere - in 12 volt and   
   240 volt versions.
