Fluorescent Lighting Ban

The UK government is banning the sale of T5 and T8 linear fluorescent lamps from February 1, 2024. This is the last in a series of bans aimed at removing high-energy fluorescent lamps from shop shelves in the UK.

There are two main reasons for the ban:

• Fluorescent lamps are inefficient.
• Fluorescent lamps contain the toxic substance mercury.

Fluorescent lamps have been widely used in commercial, educational, healthcare, and manufacturing settings for decades. However, there are now more efficient and sustainable lighting alternatives available, such as LED lighting.

Switching to LED lighting can help organizations reduce their energy demands and energy costs, meet their environmental goals, and achieve their ESG goals.

Here are some of the key takeaways:

• Fluorescent lamps are outdated and inefficient.
• Fluorescent lamps contain mercury, which is a toxic substance.
• The UK government is banning the sale of T5 and T8 linear fluorescent lamps from February 1, 2024.
• LED lighting is a more efficient and sustainable alternative to fluorescent lighting.
• Switching to LED lighting can help organizations reduce their energy costs, meet their environmental goals, and achieve their ESG goals.

If you are still using fluorescent lamps in your organization, it is time to start considering switching to LED lighting. There are a number of benefits to doing so, including energy savings, environmental benefits, and cost savings.
