A Chinese plan to phase out incandescent light bulbs is boosting companies that make energy- efficient replacements.
China will ban sales of incandescent bulbs that use 100 watts or more of power starting Oct. 1, 2012 and the ban will be expanded to cover any bulbs that use more than 60 watts in 2014 and to 15 watts in 2016.
In addition to the sales ban, China may offer subsidies to encourage purchases of LED lighting.
