Poland
Sales of incandescent bulbs were gradually limited since 2009, starting from 100 Watt bulbs. Over years 2009-2012 sales of other typical power ranges (75W, 60W) were limited. In September 2012 finally sales of 40W and weaker bulbs is limited. The limit doesn't actually prohibit sales of incandescent bulbs, but requires that the bulbs are clearly marked as "not suitable for home use". The incandescent bulbs of all powers are still available but they are officially sold as "shock-resistant bulbs" or under other names suggesting their industrial usage, just as in other EU countries.
