Which Manufacturers Still Sell Fluorescent & HID Product Lines

In late April, Acuity Brands announced the discontinuation of all fluorescent and HID luminaires by December 31^st, 2023. This isn’t terribly surprising given the recent laws to ban fluorescent and in some cases, HID lamps by Vermont, California, Canada, the EU, and the UK. More U.S. states are proposing to pass mercury lamp bans.

This got me wondering which lighting manufacturers are still showing fluorescent and/or HID products on their websites. The following list is a review of lighting manufacturer websites that historically sold fluorescent and/or HID lighting. Note that a couple companies have recently announced the closure of all operations. Many other traditional legacy lighting companies have been acquired by companies on the list below.

Nine of the 14 manufacturers above are still showing significant FL or HID products on their websites. Many more lighting companies started business as LED-only manufacturers, and never carried fluorescent nor HID products.
