Video Podcast About Fluorescent Lamp Bans

Fluorescent Light Ban - The Project Advantage

 

I recently had the pleasure of appearing on the The Project Advantage video podcast with Neil Peterson, CEO of LED Lighting Supply. The episode is titled, Fluorescent Light Ban: Why LEDs Are The Smarter Choice.

A wide range of topics were discussed including:

  • mercury lamp bans in 10 states and Canada
  • how utility LED rebates are changing
  • impressions of LightFair 2025
  • costs rising fast for fluorescent lamps & ballasts as well as HID lamps and ballasts, impact all 50 states,
  • tariffs impacting manufacturers

Special thanks to Neil Peterson and his great team at LEDLightingSupply.com, for the thoughtful and informative discussion. View the full video podcast here.
