PHILIPS PRODUCES THE WORLD'S ONLY ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY STARTERS.

Philips Starters are the only starters in the world that are RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) compliant.

They contain no lead and no radioactivity, which are the most relevant hazardous substances of starters. This makes them the only “green” starters in the market today.

It goes without saying that Philips starters are of the highest quality and 100% thoroughly tested to ensure that there is no danger. As well as being environmentally friendly and ensuring the highest safety, Philips starters also extend lifetime of the lamps. Inefficient and low quality starters can significantly reduce lamp lifetime by repeated failed starting attempts, while the Philips starters guarantee sure, fast lamp ignition. Safety is further increased by the unique glow switch design, which ensures safe behavior at the end of the lamp life.

In most cases until now, failed starters, containing radioactive isotopes and lead, were simply thrown away. These hazardous substances end up in waste processing or landfill. The Philips starters will, however, be discarded far less often because of their high quality and long lifetime, and when they are the lack of lead and radioactivity makes them a lot less harmful for our environment than any other starter.
