   Are LED lights more energy efficient than halogen bulbs?

   • LED lights last five times longer than traditional halogen bulbs and produce the same amount of light, but use up to 80 per cent less power. Officials said LEDs are expected to account for 85 per cent of all bulbs sold by 2030 and LED bulbs could also be incorporated into the fluorescent light fittings as a more energy efficient alternative.

   Are halogen lights energy efficient?

   • Halogens are relatively energy inefficient since they convert a significant portion of the electricity they consume into heat rather than visible light. This inefficiency results in higher energy costs. LEDs are highly energy-efficient, converting a large percentage of electricity into visible light and generating minimal heat.

   Why are halogen bulbs so expensive?

   • Despite producing light through incandescence, a substantial portion of the energy consumed by halogen bulbs is emitted as heat rather than visible light. The inefficiency in converting electricity to light results in higher energy consumption, leading to increased electricity bills.

   Can halogen light bulbs save the planet?

   • Flicking the off-switch on energy inefficient light bulbs is a simple way that households can save money at the same time as saving the planet. Phasing out halogen bulbs in favour of LED alternatives that last longer, are just as bright and cheaper to run, is another way that we are helping tackle climate change.

   May 1, 2024 · Traditional incandescent and the least efficient halogen light bulbs are being taken off the market in favour of energy efficient alternatives. Instead of these energy inefficient designs, we can use modern replacements to provide the same amount of light, but for less electricity.

   • Overview
   • Notes to editors

   Halogen light bulbs will be banned from September 2021 with fluorescent light bulbs to follow, cutting emissions and saving consumers on their energy bills.

   The government has announced plans today (Wednesday 9 June) to end the sale of halogen light bulbs from this September, as part of the UK’s wider efforts to tackle climate change.

   Legislation being brought forward this month will also include the removal of fluorescent lights from shelves from September 2023.

   Currently, around 2 thirds of bulbs sold in Britain are LED lights, making a considerable impact in improving the energy efficiency of the country’s buildings. They last 5 times longer than traditional halogen lightbulbs and produce the same amount of light – but use up to 80% less power.

   The UK began phasing out the sale of higher-energy halogen lightbulbs in 2018. The new legislation would mean retailers will no longer be able to sell the majority of halogen bulbs for general household use in the UK from 1 September.

   To help people make the switch, ministers are also announcing that all light bulbs will start to feature new energy efficiency advice via ‘rescaled’ energy labels on their boxes. The labels will simplify the way energy efficiency is displayed on a new scale from A-G, doing away with the A+, A++ or A+++ ratings. The new labels will raise the bar for each class, meaning very few bulbs will now be classified as A, helping consumers choose the most environmentally friendly bulbs.

   The government has published its response to the consultation on updated Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Regulations for lighting products.

   The sale of mains voltage halogen non-directional lamps were banned in the UK on 1 September 2018, meaning low voltage non-directional halogen lamps could continue, as long as they comply with eco-design requirements. The new regulations would phase out most remaining halogen lamps from September 2021 and the traditional fluorescent tube lighting, which are common in offices, from September 2023 onwards.

   HL R7 halogens will remain available on the market, and some fluorescents such as T5s.

   Exemptions will be in place for lamps designed and marketed specifically for scene-lighting use in film studios, TV studios, and photographic studios, or for stage-lighting use in theatres or other entertainment events.
