EU ban of Hg high-pressure lamps for general lighting
Under the Minamata Convention on mercury reduction the EU bans Hg high-pressure lamps for general lighting. Specialized industrial uses (UV curing, spectroscopy, water disinfection) remain unaffected, but manufacturers publish phaseout schedules — Iwasaki releases its own phaseout note.
