The lightbulb ban almost led us into the fever swamps of compact fluorescent bulbs. Fortunately, some good old boys & girls at a company called Cree figured out LED lights, which are better than incandescents.
Sometimes perverse incentives (bad regulations) can lead to positive outcomes (circumventing the regulations with new tech).
See California-compliant ARs for another example of how this works.
