Why can't the halogen lamps be sold anymore?
The gradual phasing-out of halogen lamps takes place in the context of the EU eco-design requirements that aim to control the number of inefficient light sources on the market. This step is intended to encourage both companies and consumers to choose energy-efficient LED lighting to help improve our environment. It is estimated that the phasing out of halogen lamps will lead to a reduction in carbon emissions of 15 million tonnes per year. This is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of Portugal.
Will switching to LED lamps lower energy costs?
Yes, LED lamps have a higher price than halogen, but the most important advantage is that LED lamps are much more energy-efficient than halogen lamps. LED lamps use up to 90% less electricity compared to halogen. A disadvantage of halogen is the heat release. This has the negative effect of heating environments such as schools or offices.
LED lighting does not give off heat and therefore serve purely what they are intended for: giving light. The advantage of LED is that they last up to 15-20 years longer than halogen lamps. Ultimately, you save money on your energy bill, you reduce energy consumption and consumption and maintenance costs by switching to LED.
