The UK Government has announced plans to end the sale of halogen light bulbs from this September 2021, as part of the UK’s wider efforts to tackle climate change. Legislation being brought forward will also include the removal of fluorescent lights from shelves from September 2023.
HL R7 halogens will remain available on the market, and some fluorescents such as T5s.
Exemptions will be in place for lamps designed and marketed specifically for scene-lighting use in film studios, TV studios, and photographic studios, or for stage-lighting use in theatres or other entertainment events.
