Project description
A fast, safe and cost-effective way to upgrade fluorescent lighting is on the way
Fluorescent lamps are still among the most widely used types of lighting today, but their mercury vapour that emits ultraviolet light is toxic and can contaminate the environment if a tube is broken during use or disposal. The Austrian company MPE Moled Produktions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH has developed a small box, the M OLED®-Box, that will enable a fluorescent lighting unit to be upgraded to an energy-efficient LED one safely and inexpensively in a matter of minutes. The EU-funded SEREEL project will enable the team to conduct the necessary market research to expand throughout Europe, delivering energy and environmental benefits for all.
