Ban on the Fluorescent Lamp

BYE-BYE FLUORESCENT LAMP | HELLO LED LIGHTING

Fluorescent and halogen lamps are on the brink of extinction: the RoHS Directive of the European Union (2011/65/EU) and the Ecodesign EU Regulation 2019/2020 ensure that no more lamps and tubes of this type can be sold in the near future.

LED lamps and luminaires are the perfect alternative and score points for their energy efficiency, long service life and resulting sustainability.
