Halogen Light Bulbs
In June of 2021, the UK government announced that from September of this year a number of light bulbs will no longer be available in the market for the UK population. This move was carried out as part of a better green energy plan for the UK and cut down overall emission rates in the country. The specific bulbs that have been banned include the likes of the Halogen R7 bulbs, Halogen spotlights (12V), Compact Fluorescent Helix bulbs and Halogen Capsules (G9/12V).
But, there’s more to it than meets the eye. The government order specifies that these bulbs and other halogen bulbs “cannot be placed in the market”. This signifies that no further Halogen bulb products can be shipped to the UK after the specified timeline. At the same time, halogen lightbulbs that are already stocked in the warehouses across the UK are considered as ‘already placed in the market’.
So, if a light bulb company in the UK already has Halogen bulbs in stock, they can continue selling them to the public even after the September deadline. This is where LED Spares can help!
We stock a wide range of old Halogen Light bulbs some of which are on the website and still available for sale. If you can't find the exact lamp you require please give us a call or send and email as we have many further versions in our wharehouse.
