Mark, we all know how it's really going to happen... The Italian halogens are going to stay in the box, which you're never even going to see. They're going to give you a couple really, really awful $10 fluorescents from Home Depot to install. And after final, the owner's going to swap them out. DIY, by homeowners who don't really want to be doing it and quite likely aren't going to find out what they need to find out to do it right, and completely uninspected.
I wonder how many houses are going to have to burn down before they realize that trying to force people to act againt their own best interests simply creates a black market, and back down from these stupid rules? (At least I hope they back down, but I suspect that may not be realistic. The usual reaction of despots is to get even more draconian.)
