🌎🌎Fluorescent lighting and your carbon footprint🌎🌎
From September 2023, fluorescent lighting is now no longer being made.
Whilst you will still be able to buy fluorescent lights in wholesalers and other electrical stores, they are no longer being produced.
The Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive has now focused on mercury and this no longer being available.
Fluorescent lights contain mercury in the vapour that is within the tube and this ignites to create light via a coating on the tube.
If you have these types of lights in your home, garages and / or sheds, then now may be the time to consider replacing these for LED lights.
The impact is not only greater energy efficiency, but reductions in costs and your carbon footprint.
The carbon dioxide produced by LED lights is approximately 500 lbs per year, whilst fluorescent type lights produced more than double this per year.
Every little bit helps! If you have these type of lights in your home contact me for a no obligation quote and improve your lighting and do your part towards a greener planet 🌎 🌎🌎.
