California Passes Clean Lighting Legislation Banning Fluorescent Lamps
WHEN ARE FLUORESCENT LIGHTS BEING DISCONTINUED?
Starting January 1, 2024, California will implement a ban on screw or bayonet base CFLs, followed by a ban on pin-based CFLs and linear fluorescent lamps starting January 1, 2025. These bans are part of the state’s ongoing efforts to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
For nearly a century, fluorescent light bulbs have been the go-to choice for energy efficiency, but that’s no longer the case. With modern LED fixtures surpassing fluorescents in terms of energy efficiency, safety, maintenance costs, and lighting quality, it’s no wonder why governments are limiting or outright banning the manufacturing of some fluorescent lamps.
While this new legislation may pose a challenge for some commercial properties, it presents an opportunity for others to upgrade to more energy-efficient lighting solutions.

The cost savings associated with LED lighting, there are many other benefits to making the switch. LED lighting is more durable and longer-lasting than fluorescent lighting, which means that you will spend less money on maintenance and replacement costs over time. LED lighting is more environmentally friendly, as it contains no hazardous materials and produces less heat than fluorescent lighting.
California’s upcoming ban on fluorescent lighting is a significant step towards the state’s commitment to sustainability. By partnering with Century Commercial Service, you can make the switch to LED lighting and ensure that they are in compliance with the new legislation while reaping the benefits of energy savings and improved lighting quality.
