Fluorescent lamps to be phased out in EU in 2023

Mercury is one of the restricted substances under RoHS directive. So far in the European Union, the use of mercury has been allowed in certain light source, such as T5 fluorescent and T8 fluorescent and compact fluorescent lamps. However, the new RoHS directives from 2023 will remove most of the exemptions for light source.

Here is the time table for the phased-out lamps of new RoHS Directive –

25th Feb. 2023
Prohibition of the placing on the EU market of all fluorescent lamps in ring form (T5, T9)

25th Feb. 2023
Prohibition of the placing on the EU market of all compact fluorescent lamps with plug-in base (CFLni)

25th August 2023
Prohibition of the placing on the EU market of all T5 and T8 fluorescent lamps

01st September 2023
Prohibition of the placing on the EU market of all Halogen lamps (G9, GY6.35, G6)

It means that above mentioned mercury contained lamps will be phased out during 2023.

Today, we have significantly energy-efficient alternatives – LED lighting that are mercury-free, and better function. LED lighting can be lower both energy and maintenance costs, and you can easily upgrade traditional lighting to LED with our LED retrofit options.

We have all retrofit LED light source for T5 fluorescent and T8 fluorescent lamps and other compact fluorescent lamps with plug-in base such as (2G11, 2G10, 2G7, G23, G24q with 4 pins, GX24q with 4 pins, G24d with 2 pins, GX24d with 2 pins).
