If I remember rightly domestic lighting represents about 2% of  
national energy use. That is about one years growth. This is symbolic  
at best.

It was clearly a case of "We must do something. This is something  
therefore...".

How about tacking something what is growing fast and hits a period of  
peak power usage, air conditioning, instead? For instance to get air  
conditioning in your home you must -

1. Have good ceiling insulation.

2. Pay a tax of ~$14,000 for the power company to put in extra  
capacity to run it
	or

Keep it off the grid and install sufficient solar panels to power it  
yourself.
