End of 76 years of history: Panasonic plans to stop producing fluorescent lamps in 2027 and accelerate LED production

According to news from this site on August 17, Panasonic plans to stop the production of all fluorescent lamps by the end of 2027 in response to international treaties. Nikkei reported that although the Japanese government has set a goal of switching all lighting equipment to LED by 2030, the current progress is only 60%. Note from this site: Fluorescent lamps (also known as fluorescent lamps, lamp tubes, fluorescent tubes) use electricity to excite mercury vapor in argon or neon gas, forming plasma and emitting short-wave ultraviolet rays. After the ultraviolet rays are absorbed by the phosphor, the phosphor emits visible light to achieve illumination. Countries reached an agreement at an international conference in Switzerland in November 2023: to ban the production, import and export of mercury-containing fluorescent lamps by the end of 2027.

Public information shows that Panasonic began producing and selling fluorescent lamps in 1951, and they became popular with post-war reconstruction and rapid economic growth. At present, Panasonic still provides it as one of its main products to home users and office users.

Currently, although fluorescent lamps are still on sale on Panasonic’s official website, Panasonic has recommended users to switch to LED ceiling lamps at the top of the website. fenye
