From August 25, 2023, the ban will apply to T8 fluorescent lamps - without exceptions for lighting in hazardous areas.
The RoHS Directive* of the European Union restricts the use certain hazardous substances in electrical equipment and electronics across Europe, including the use of mercury in lighting products. In addition, the regulation on Ecodesign 2020/2019/EU, which entered into force in September 2021, provides for the withdrawal of non-compliant products fitness requirements. The number of layoffs currently revised, which has a huge impact on fluorescent lighting products. Both RoHS and regulations regarding ecodesign are intended to protect the environment and public health through enforcement sustainable climate-friendly lighting.
Why you should switch from your current fluorescent installation for Eaton LED lighting? Because not all LED light sources are equal. The advantages are well known LED solutions, such as better light duality, long life and low energy consumption, but lighting in difficult industrial applications often creates unique challenges. These include strong vibrations, extreme temperature, corrosion, water, dirt and potentially explosive gases or dusts. Any of these factors can seriously affect the lifetime and efficiency of LED luminaires. Therefore, it is important to cooperate with a lighting manufacturer that can be proud of proven achievements in both industrial lighting design and certification products for hazardous and difficult areas ambient conditions. Eaton is such a partner. The team of our employees and partners offers professional support in the analysis, selection and design professional lighting installations, meeting high requirements in hazardous areas explosion. In practice, the EU ban will significantly limit access to fluorescent sources, which in extreme cases can contribute to the occurrence of disturbances in the proper functioning lighting in hazardous areas.
Whether replacing existing fluorescent lighting with a dedicated LED module or installing a completely new LED lighting system, Eaton offers a range of fully Ex-certified Crouse-Hinds products for use in harsh environments and hazardous areas.
With Eaton's safe, reliable and energy efficient LED solutions, switching to LED is easy. Below you can find a suitable replacement for your current installation.
