The Fluorescent Tube Ban

HOW TO GET AHEAD OF THE TECHNOLOGY CHANGE – THE EU LEGAL SITUATION SINCE 2023

LED technology has now reached such a high level that it can replace virtually all conventional light sources. In particular, lamps with poor efficiency or toxic ingredients such as mercury are therefore incrementally no longer permitted to be placed on the market due to the fluorescent tube ban.

We have summarised the detailed steps from February 2023 onwards in accordance with the European RoHS Directive (similar to the UK fluorescent light ban) for you in this table. Be one step ahead of the technology transformation, the corresponding procurement problems or even failures, and make your lighting fit for the future with TRILUX refurbishment solutions.

  • Energy Efficiency and Longevity: High energy efficiency, maintenance-free operation, and long lifespan for low operating costs
  • One-Stop Solution: Full-service and comprehensive warranty for planning reliability
  • Public Funding: LED lighting renovations often have access to public funding, unlike retrofit solutions

 

Progress

Instead of "Retro"

Continuing to operate old systems with so-called "retrofit" lamps may seem obvious, but it is not automatically sustainable. Common problems such as heat development, poor colour fidelity, shortened service life or undesirable interactions with ballasts can occur. Detailed information and comparative planning examples can be found in our LED and retrofit guide or our retrofit checklist. In the long term, a refurbishment solution with LEDs is the more efficient, safer and more convenient option. Use the refurbishment to avoid having to compromise on lighting quality and lighting management!
