As we progress and develop more energy efficient ways of lighting our homes, the existing less efficient bulbs are slowly phased out to allow consumers to adapt to the changes. This whole process is known as the phase out schedule and it began back in 2009 with the phasing out of 100W and above clear incandescent bulbs. 2010 brought the phase out of 75W clear incandescent bulbs, and by 2012 all remaining clear incandescent bulbs were phased out.
On 1st September 2016, the phase out of directional mains-voltage halogen bulbs such as GU10, PAR and R-type will take place.

Taking the place of all these now redundant bulbs are CFL and LED bulbs. These use around 60-90% less energy than their incandescent partners and offer a much longer lifespan. Be ready this fall, and be prepared to have to switch to slightly different lighting to what you may currently be used to.
