Since the 1st September 2023, T5 and T8 fluorescent tubes are being phased out to reduce any possible toxic gases being emitted into the environment. All business owners are required to source alternative lighting solutions and discard them as hazardous waste, or through structured, compliant recycling.
From February / March next year English manufacturers will cease to make the tubes and this, coupled with other countries in the UK doing the same from this year, will mean that Sparkies will have to think carefully about LED lighting in commercial and industrial settings more and more.
