Neon will never be banned: so says Neon Specialists’ Kerry Ryan, who creates neon installations for artists © Kerry Ryan
Among the more obscure aspects of the Brexit negotiations was the question of lighting. Artists from Dan Flavin and Bruce Nauman to Tracey Emin and Olafur Eliasson make extensive use of light in their works, in the form of fluorescent bulbs and, in particular, neon tubing, which contains mercury.
The EU’s ecodesign regulations for lighting, which are due to replace the existing rules in September, aim to stop the sale of products that do not meet energy efficiency and safety standards. Most halogen lamps and the traditional fluorescent tube lighting, which are common in offices, will be phased-out from September 2023.
