Compact fluorescent lights (CFL) are the most readily available energy saving alternative to incandescent bulbs and come in different shapes and sizes.
Dubai: Light bulbs that are not energy efficient will be banned across the country from mid-2013 as the Emirates Authority for Standardisation and Metrology (Esma) expands its range of efficiency standards to cover more electrical equipment and appliances.
The move will also affect washing machines and refrigerators.
The new standards will require all light bulbs sold and used in the country to be eco-friendly as per the rating system, which will be announced early next year.
Only the likes of compact fluorescent light bulbs and LED bulbs will fall into the approved category, under the ratings system currently being devised.
