German Outwitter


German "heatball" wheeze outwits EU light bulb ban

Not sure what a "heatball" wheeze is, but it outwits dimwits.

A German entrepreneur is bypassing a European Union ban on light bulbs of more than 60 watts by marketing his own brand as mini heaters.

Siegfried Rotthaeuser and his brother-in-law have come up with a legal way of importing and distributing 75 and 100 watt light bulbs -- by producing them in China, importing them as "small heating devices" and selling them as "heatballs."
Gotta love it.
