WLK guides you through the conversion of fluorescent tubes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the goal with the phase out the fluorescent light sources?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal of phasing out the light sources is to reduce energy use and emissions of carbon dioxide from lighting products in the EU. The aim is also to promote sustainable development and to increase awareness of energy efficiency among consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ban on fluorescent tubes is based on two EU directives, the Ecodesign Directive and the RoHS Directive. The first sets minimum requirements for the energy performance of products, while RoHs regulates hazardous substances in electronics. It is RoHs that has decided that all light sources with mercury are now to be banned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which dates apply?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fluorescent tube T8 \u2013 24 August 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fluorescent tube T5 \u2013 24 August 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Circular fluorescent tube T5 \u2013 February 24, 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compact fluorescent lamps without integrated operating devices &#8211; 24 February 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Halogen lamps with sockets G9, G4 and GY6.35 \u2013 1 September 2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What options are there to replace the fluorescent tubes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are LED replacements for many light sources, but to get a more sustainable solution, it is better to rebuild the existing fixture by reusing the fixture chassis, reusing as much as possible and then using LED products. If, on the other hand, the luminaires are older and even if they are in poor condition, the recommendation is always to change to new LED luminaires, which are much more energy efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WLK replaces the fluorescent tube&#8217;s driver for LED<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have light sources affected by the phase-out?
