This seems odd considering they surely can't be used in Hungary either. The EU started phasing out incandescent bulbs more than a decade ago!
Don't miss them, personally. LED lighting is excellent if you buy good quality ones. And I certainly don't miss having to periodically go around the house changing blown bulbs!
The EU regulations were against sales of incandescent bulbs. But in most countries they are still available rebranded as "heat bulbs" or "workshop bulbs" with a large "NOT INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USAGE" 'warning' sign.
