This episode explores the growing challenges posed by aging LED lighting systems as warranties expire and failures become widespread. The discussion examines how the lack of standardization and replaceable components makes maintenance increasingly difficult, particularly as fluorescent lighting disappears from the market. Listeners will hear about the hidden costs, extensive waste, and performance issues such as flicker in tubular LED lamps that contradict marketing claims. The conversation also calls for greater social responsibility from manufacturers, alongside stronger demand from specifiers and end-users for solutions that are maintainable, repairable, and truly sustainable.
