THE BAN OF FLUORESCENT lighting
THE BAN
In February 2022, the EU Commission published new RoHS directives (RoHS=Restriction of Hazardous Substances) that restrict the use of hazardous and harmful substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
The new RoHS directives stipulate that no lamps containing mercury may be placed on the market after August 24, 2023. All fluorescent lamps used for general lighting purposes are initially affected by these new regulations.
Even though an exemption until February 24, 2025 has been created for D65 and D50 applications including ISO 3668
and ISO 3664:2009 compliant viewing devices for color matching, it is to be expected that the de facto end for D65 and D50 fluorescent lamps will come sooner. For the large lamp manufacturers, the relatively small quantities for the niche market of color matching are not attractive.
For JUST Normlicht, these directives and the associated technology change do not come as a surprise. JUST has been offering mercury-free alternative LED-based solutions for a long time.
JUST DIGITAL LIGHT SYSTEMS –
THE ULTIMATE ALTERNATIVE
JUST DLS luminaires, with their long-life LED-based technology, are much more sustainable than florescent lamps.
They do not have to be disposed of as hazardous waste, all components are recyclable, there no regular tube replacements, and illumination is glare- and reflection-free.
While procurement costs for Digital Light Systems are slightly higher, they are amortized in less than 5 years. In fact, you can own two Digital Light Systems for the ownership cost of one fluorescent system.
SIMPLY UPGRADE YOUR LUMINAIRE
For users with existing fluorescent-based viewing systems: keep your iron and see the light!
JUST DLS upgrade systems allow upgrading only the luminaire part of your current systems, preserving your investment in cabinetry, stands or stations.
For most of our color matching stations, we already offer plug-and-play DLS upgrade solutions.
In addition, we also equip stations and press control stations from third party suppliers with our revolutionary DLS retroFitTM systems, enabling LED-based inspection for a wide range of users.
