General Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) Phase-Out

Date Posted 19 July 2024

The Lighting industry is moving towards efficiency and a reduction in impact on the environment!

Compact Fluorescent Lamps [CFLs] are being phased-out, with many products already ceasing to be available in the European and UK market. This phase-out is due to an update in RoHS Directives, the global benchmark for reducing toxic substances in electronics, with the CFL ban being implemented to target the mercury content in CFLs.

Compact Fluorescent Lamps are still found at various sites across the UK, with their use being commonplace across a host of product types, from Downlights and Panels, to Bulkhead products. For those who are now in the position to replace CFL products and update to LED lighting, we have an array of cost and energy saving options. We have LED alternatives to cover retrofit applications, with the below products representing these options well:
