Fluorescent lighting: an outdated choice
For decades, fluorescent lighting was the default option for lighting systems in both homes and businesses. But with evolved technology and a growing emphasis on energy efficiency, it has become clear that fluorescent lighting is no longer the best choice. Not only is it less efficient in terms of energy consumption, but it also carries higher maintenance costs and has a shorter lifespan than modern alternatives such as LED lighting.
Subsidies for relighting: seize this opportunity!
The good news is that subsidies are currently available for replacing outdated lighting systems with energy-efficient alternatives. This means businesses have the chance to save costs while contributing to a more sustainable future by switching to LED lighting. These subsidies make it financially feasible to make the switch and help offset the initial investment. Moreover, the EU has already banned fluorescent lighting since September 2023.

Savings with LED lighting: a smart move
The benefits of LED lighting are numerous. Not only do LED lamps consume significantly less energy than fluorescent lighting, but they also have a longer lifespan, which means they need to be replaced less often. This results in lower maintenance costs and higher reliability of lighting systems. Moreover, LED lamps offer better air quality and are available in a wide range of colour temperatures and designs, making them suitable for various applications.
