Australia’s Fluorescent Lighting Ban is Coming!
GET READY TO MAKE THE SWITCH TO LED
Australia is phasing out fluorescent lighting as part of its commitments under the Minamata Convention, due to the environmental and health risks associated with mercury.
Since fluorescent products contain mercury, planned import bans will require businesses to transition to LED lighting.
