Australia has passed a new law, and the halogen lamp will soon disappear from the retail store

Australia's largest lighting industry organization, Australia's Lighting Association, recently announced that as the world enters the era of LED lighting, halogen lamps will disappear from Australian retail stores in the next 12-24 months.

The Australian Lighting Association warmly welcomed the new Australian Government Committee (COAG) ministerial meeting on the energy committee, which adopted a new law applicable to the next generation of LED lighting technology in Australia.

Under a highly competitive global market environment, the lighting industry still provides employment opportunities for up to 4500 manufacturing enterprises throughout Australia, but it has also been facing a significant increase in compliance costs. The new compliance costs are due to the need to apply the bill of the Commonwealth environment department to Commonwealth of Australia law.

"The early bill was a disaster," explained Richard Mulcahy, the chief executive of the Australian Lighting Association.

"Additional red tape, worth up to $80 million, will only increase consumer prices and reduce employment in the industry, and the lighting industry is one of the few dynamic manufacturing industries in Australia."

The focus of the debate is how minister Frydenberg intervened after listening to some important industry reports.

"Minister Frydenberg sees the problems in the bill and directs his department to reformulate its policy on the basis of consulting the truth of the industry. The final bill, recently passed by the Australian Government Committee (COAG), is a very reasonable agreement to keep Australia's laws and related regulations abroad. The compromise bill. "

"Frydenberg's extraordinary leadership has won him a warm applause, and we are very grateful for prime minister Turnbull's support on this issue."

"In addition, the Frydenberg minister has made a very meaningful step in reducing the Australian household electricity bill," Mr. Mulcahy said when he agreed to disable halogen lights. It is estimated that the move will save Australian consumers a $10 billion in the next ten years.

"Halogen lamps consume 3-5 times as much electricity as the new generation of LED technology, and we are happy to play a major role in reducing the budget pressure on families and businesses as an industry dedicated to the need to produce environmental protection."
