The issue

In 2023, we handled a special case: a dairy farmer came to us with a need for LED lighting that was suitable for a non-conventional lamp socket. The lamps were intended as additional work lighting, while the lighting for the cows already met the requirements.

The problem was that the existing lamps (250 watts each) had a high energy consumption. This was not only inefficient, but also did not meet the new legislation that makes LED lighting mandatory.

After analyzing the problem, we developed a solution consisting of an adapter for the lamp housing and an E27 fitting for the LED lamp. This ensures a problem-free replacement in the future. With the new lamps, the dairy farmer can now work in an environment that is efficiently lit (30 watts x 15).

Legislation

It is important to note that the production of T8 lamps will be banned in the European Union. This will come into effect on 1 September 2023. Furthermore, the production of certain halogen lamps (G4/GY6.35 and G9) will be stopped. This is part of the EU's efforts to reduce energy consumption and cut harmful emissions.

The level of compliance with the new LED lighting regulations is being strictly monitored by the Environment Agency. Companies are required to provide evidence that they are complying with the rules, and site checks are being carried out.
