Halogen Bulb Phaseout Timeline

Since 2009 the EU have been phasing out old inefficient incandescent lamps because they waste too much of their energy creating heat. The replacements are more energy-efficient which reduces carbon emissions. The main replacement technology is Light Emitting Diodes (LED) which use around 75% less energy and offer a much longer lifespan. This infographic shows the timeline for the phaseout:

Phaseout

2009:

100W incandescents

2010:

75W incandescents

2011:

60W incandescents

2012:

Other incandescents

2016: (Feb)

Special purpose bulbs

2016: (Sept)

Directional halogen bulbs

2018:

Non-directional halogen bulbs

The End

High Definition Light 21ST Century Halogen

Our halogen lamps are 21st Century and energy efficient (class B or above). They are not affected by the phaseout The High Definition lamp draws 35W and is unrivalled in its impact on seeing colours and detail This light is the best choice in our range for seeing colours in a true light It is a low voltage bespoke lamp built upon proprietary Daylight Wavelength Technology™ and deliberately mimics the spectral power distribution of natural light

Alex & Classic LED Light Engines LEDs are not affected by the phaseout The very latest advances in LED technology mean we can shine a much higher quality of light than is normal Being very energy efficient, LED light engines run cool to the touch and last for many years Our bespoke light engines deploy proprietary Daylight Wavelength Technology™ to project a unique light spectrum that is not over-dominated by damaging blue light found in other LED lights
