are fluorescent tubes banned?






fluorescent tubes banned in the UK

Fluorescent lights and fittings will soon be banned!

This statement is true, fluorescent bulbs are to be phased out in the UK, by the end of next year (2023) you will not be able to purchase fluorescent lights and your electrician will only install LED lights.

Dates that certain type of lamps are to be phased out:

  • FEBUARY 2023 - All CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamps) & Ring base lamps
  • AUGUST 2023 - All T5 and T8 fluorescent tubes
  • SEPTEMEBR 2023 - All G type lamps (G4, G6.5, G9)

All businesses and homes should be converting over to LED Lighting and disposing of old fluorescent lighting correctly.We replace a lot of old type lighting systems in Bristol and surrounding areas for more energy efficient LED Lighting.

There are thousands of these types of lights still installed in businesses in Bristol, its time to start planning and converting to modern LED Lighting.

!! Take Care When Selecting an Electrician !!

Many electricians in Bristol are simply not interested in the small jobs.They want the choice jobs and will drop you when a bigger,supposedly more lucrative project comes in.

Others advertise as electricians having no qualifications.They thrive on the basis that you don't understand what they do and as a result charging for shoddy,and often dangerous electrical work.

I set up Burridge Electrical to provide you with a quality service and provide you with exactly what you need from a qualified electrician.
