I would expect this to be the case in Germany, but not in Czech Republic, as I have now looked at your profile. In Poland they’re as available as before the ban and the only difference is a “not for home use” sticker added or printed on a box… when laws are stupid it’s good they’re being ignored.

Hi, that’s technically incorrect. It’s forbidden to sell them as a general home light source, it’s legal to sell them for special uses. The net result is that you can still buy them everywhere (supermarkets, online, etc), only they’re labeled as a “shock-resistant light bulb, not for home use” or as a “glowing electrical heater”. The price is up about 5% and quality is slightly lower (shorter life) as now they’re all from China, local factories were unfortunately closed following the ban. Overall, it’s a ridiculously dead law.
If you live in eu country and you really can’t buy them locally (which would be really weird), I guess I could buy some and send them to you
