From 13^th April 2012 the “Energy Using Products Directive” (EUP), will prevent 8ft T12 (38mm diameter) Fluorescent Tubes from being manufactured or imported into the EU. This is the next part of a raft of measures being introduced throughout Europe to help reduce carbon emissions and improve the environment.

Lamps manufactured before April 2012 can continue to be sold, but now with only one manufacturer continuing to produce 8ft tubes up to that cut off date, the price will only continue to rise. To avoid this situation we recommend you order this product now.
