Baku: The import, production, and sale of incandescent lamps with a power of 60W and above are set to be banned in Azerbaijan, as outlined in a proposed amendment to the Law “On the efficient use of energy resources and energy efficiency.” This proposal was discussed at a recent meeting of the Natural Resources, Energy, and Environment Committee of the Milli Majlis.

According to Azeri-Press News Agency, the draft amendment specifies that, with the exception of incandescent lamps intended for special use in production processes and products whose main purpose is not lighting, the import, production, and sale of electric incandescent lamps used for lighting in an alternating current circuit will be prohibited. The ban will be implemented in stages: incandescent lamps with a power of 60W and above will be prohibited from January 1, 2026, while lamps ranging from 25W to 60W will face a ban starting July 1, 2026.
