African countries banning fluorescent lighting between 2024 and 2025 « on: December 06, 2021, 01:09:27 AM » Author: WorldwideHIDCollectorUSA
While trying to learn more about the EU EcoDesign directive, I found this article that details information about African countries slated to ban linear fluorescent tubes and CFL lamps between 2024 and 2025: https://www.mercuryconvention.org/sites/default/files/inline-files/news/Portals/11/documents/News/ES_Africa_Amendment_Proposal_April_2021.pdf It seems really depressing to know that anything that is not LED will become as rare as hen's teeth in such a short amount of time. Now is the time to stock up on traditional lighting if you want to keep using it for the rest of your life.
