Traditional incandescent downlight bulbs are disappearing fast.
Supermarkets, Mitre 10 and Bunnings now dedicate less than 5% of shelf space to these outdated bulbs — and they’ll soon be gone for good.
Traditional incandescent and halogen downlight bulbs are quickly disappearing. The USA banned them in 2023, while Australia and the European Union began phasing them out back in 2009. Canada and South Korea have also taken steps to ban or phase out these outdated, inefficient bulbs. If your home still uses these types of downlights, now’s the perfect time to consider upgrading to a smarter, more energy-efficient option.
💡 Have you got these lights in your home?
While LED bulbs might seem like a quick fix, many older fittings are now failing altogether, especially from heat damage over time. Halogen lights are even worse offenders for overheating.
Instead of replacing failing bulbs repeatedly, switch to recessed LED downlights that:
Come with a 7-year NZ warranty
Last 30,000+ hours
Use up to 70% less electricity
Are environmentally friendly and cost-effective
We’re so confident you’ll love the difference, we’re offering a FREE trial upgrade in one room of your home (4–6 downlights).
And if you're not happy?
We’ll reinstall your old lights at no cost — you pay nothing.
