In some places I think they're sold as heaters now. I mean, traditional light bulbs are effective heaters so why not?

In the US, appliance bulbs are exempt from the new law. Which by the way mandates a lumens per watt threshold, it doesn't explicitly ban incandescent bulbs. If someone could come up with an incandescent that meets the requirement they are free to sell as many as they can make.
