4 Standards Over the last 25 years the industry has been subjected to a great deal of new legislation and standards to provide measures of safety, compatibility and performance for products. Standards normally increase competition and lower output and sales costs, benefiting economies as a whole and consumers in particular. Every EU country has national organizations and electrotechnical committees that appoint national participants for CEN and CENELEC committees and working groups. In Country s Name we have: National Standard Body: Name and contact National Electrotechnical Committee: Name and contact IEC ISO CIE Electrotechnical Committees INTERNATIONAL HARMONIZATION OF STANDARDS National Standard Bodies CENELEC CEN European Standards In Europe, CEN (Comité Européen de Normalisation) encompasses National Standards Bodies and is responsible for lighting applications standards. At an international level the responsible is International Standards Organisation (ISO). ISO s international lighting standards are mainly drafted by the CIE (Commission Internationale de l Eclairage) which is an international expert organization on lighting. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical commitiees. IEC, as well as CIE, publish: International Standards Technical Specifications Technical Reports Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) Guides In Europe, CENELEC, encompasses National Electrotechnical Commitiees and is responsible for standardization in the electrotechnical engineering field. It prepares voluntary standards which help facilitate trade between countries and cut compliance costs. 3

5 Standards LUMINAIRE SYSTEM HEALTH AND SAFETY STANDARDS Luminaire construction RoHS EN EMC emission EN EMC immunity EN Harmonics EN Electric track EN Photobiological safety EN The main EU regulation that have developed lighting market are Ecodesign and Labelling directives. In addition, other important EU regulation for manufacturers design, manufacture and disposal are: WEEE EMC THE EC DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY MUST CONTAIN: 1. Name and address of the manufacturer; 2. Description of the model for unambiguous identification; 3. References of the harmonised standards applied; 4. Other technical standards and specifications used; 5. Declaration of compliance with other Community legislation providing for the affixing of the CE marking 6. Signature of the person empowered And the TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION: 7. Efficiency of the ballast (e.g. EEI=A1) 8. Lamp efficacy (lumen/watt). 9. Whether lamps or ballasts are placed together on the market with the luminaire. 10. Maintenance instructions. (lamp replacement and luminaire cleaning instructions). 11. Disassembly instructions (removing lamps or batteries and relevant WEEE collection procedures instructions) ADDITIONALLY (optional): 12. CEN flux code or full photometric data of the luminaire, thus complying with benchmark recommendations. LOW VOLTAGE REACH Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive 2011/65/EC Restricts the use of certain substances Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive 2012/19/EC Covers the disposal and recycling of waste Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2004/108/EC Covers electromagnetic emissions from the product and immunity to electromagnetic interference Directive 2006/95/ EC To ensure safety in the use of electrical equipment used within o V(AC) and V(DC) Regulation 1907/2006 Ensures suppliers and manufacturers do not place in the market or produce products with harmful substances for human health and the Environment. The CE marking, formerly EC mark, is since 1985 a mandatory conformity marking for several products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA), including lighting products. The CE mark, Technical Documentation and a Declaration of Conformity are necessary for selling a lighting product within EU. If the CE marking is reduced or enlarged the proportions must be respected. Vertical dimension may not be less than 5 mm. 4

6 Ecodesign Regulation To date there are no mandatory international requirements with regard to the efficiency of luminaires. Ideas for an efficiency evaluation were discussed as part of the EU Ecodesign process, but nothing has yet been implemented. Nevertheless, ecodesign set requirements on household luminaires that operate directional lamps, LED lamps and fluorescent lamps without integrated ballasts. STAGES OF ECODESIGN REQUIREMENTS Stage 1 244/2009 Sep 2009 Sep 2010 Directive 2000/55/EC Directive 2005/32/EC Stage 2 Stage 3 Sep /2009 Apr 2010 Apr 2012 Apr /2012 Sep 2013 Sep 2014 Sep 2016 Stage 4 Sep 2012 Stage 5 Sep 2013 Stage 6 Sep 2016 Establishes framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy using products to be placed in the EU market LUMINAIRES OUT OF THE SCOPE OF ECODESIGN DIRECTIVE emergency lighting and emergency sign (Directive 2006/95/EC) luminaires explosion-protected luminaires covered by Directives 94/9/EC and 1999/92/EC luminaires integrated into machinery covered by Directive 2006/42/EC luminaires integrated into medical products covered by Directive 93/42/EEC luminaires that are toy components covered by Directive 88/378/EEC 5 Regulation 244/2009 Establishes requirements for non directional household lamps (except for fluorescent lamps without integrated ballasts and HID Lamps) Future revision soon (2014) Regulation 245/2009 Establishes requirements for: - Fluorescent lamps without integrated ballast - HID Lamps - Ballasts and Luminaries operating these lamps Regulation 347/2010 Amends annexes I, II, III and IV of Regulation 245/2009 Directive 2009/125/EC Establishes framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy related products to be placed in the EU market Regulation 1194/2012 Establishes requirements for: - Directional lamps - LED lamps - Control devices and Luminaries operating these lamps

7 Ecodesign Regulation Ecodesign requirements are being set, by each regulation, in several stages. Each stage will introduce new requirements, whether by adding new ones or just update previous values. These requirements can be divided in: efficiency, funtionality, and product information requirements. As for the products in the scope of the regulation they can be luminaires, lamps, ballasts, control gears and control devices. Every requirement of each one of these products, which luminaire manufacturers have to comply with, are exposed in the table of the next page. Luminaire manufacturers have to attend to all regulated requirements, from the first stage of 244/2009 (Sep 2009) til the final stage of 245/2009 (Apr 2017), except when there is an update of a previous set requirement. Revisions of the regulation are in order. It is important to be updated regarding those changes. To garantee ecodesign regulation implementation in the manufactuer industry, a market servillance mechanism process has been established (see picture) and is executed by a public appointed organization. The schematic depicts how the manufactuerer s product will be surveilled, assessing its compliance. YES Do not Comply WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF REGULATION 245/2009 AND REGULATION 347/2010? The luminaire requirements are defined by the requirements for installed components (lamp and control gear). The technical data defined by the Regulation has to be published online (website) and in another form deemed appropriated by the manufacturer (e.g. brochure). ONE SINGLE UNIT TESTED Exceeds limit values of Annex III (Parts 2 & 3)? Three more units shall be tested YES Average of the results exceeds limit values? NO Comply Schematic of Market Surveillance process WHAT HAPPENS TO LUMINAIRES THAT DO NOT MEET ECODESIGN REQUIREMENTS? These luminaires must no longerbe placed in the EU market. In fact, luminaires imported from non-eu countries are also obliged to fulfil these requirements. However, products placed on the market before the regulation came into force are still allowed to be traded. 6

8 CURRENT AND FUTURE ECODESIGN REQUIREMENTS FOR DOMESTIC LUMINAIRE S MANUFACTURERS Regulation 244/2009 Regulation 245/2009 (amended by 347/2010) Regulation 1194/2012 REQUIREMENTS Luminaires Funtionality Previously 2012 April Stage Compatibility with 3 ballasts (except BAT CG Best Available Technology Control Gear Product Info Lamps Must provide information specified in page 15 concerning its lamp Indication whethe design is for coa and/or clear lam Dim DLS Dimmable Directional Light Source Efficiency EEI Energy Efficiency Index * Funtionality Fluo Fluorescent Ballasts IP LFL NDFL Ingress Protection Linear Fluorescent Lamp Non Dimmable Fluorescent Lamp Efficiency Funtionality B2 (Non Dim Fluo Lamp) A3 (Other specific NDFL) A1 (Dim Fluo Lamp) Standby < 0,5 NDLS Non-Directional Light Source Control Gear and Devices TDF Technical Documentation File Efficiency * MY LUMINAIRE IS FOR SPECIAL PURPOSES, WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS I HAVE TO COMPLY WITH? As these products primary intent is other than lighting, only available information is required. The TDF for conformity assessment shall list the parameters that make the product specific for its main purpose, such as: size, shape, temperature, mechanical resistance, etc. 7 EEI requirement will depend on the market surveillance of June 2015 Funtionality ARE THERE ANY REQUIREMENTS FOR CONTROL DEVICES? The regulation does not state any efficiency, standby or noload requirements for control devices, but, like for control gears, they must be compatible with energy class A or better, unless there is stated a noncompatibility warning. Minimum dimming shall produce 1% of full load luminous flux!

No limit for LEDs) Compatible with EEI < 0,4 (DLS) and EEI < 0,24 (NDLS) Standby < 1W WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COMPLIANCE WHEN CHANGING A PRODUCT? The luminaire has to comply with the requirements of ecodesign (e.g. fluorescent technology in 245/2009). Beyond that, the responsibility is of the installer (e.g. when changing LFL to LED technology). The issue of retrofitting is being discussed as part of the future regulation on DLS. For Filament and LEDs Standby < 0,5 W WHO HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP THE TDF? The TDF must be kept for a period of ten years after its last product is placed in the market or puts into service. The obligaton to keep it and present it upon request (e.g. from market surveillance authority) lies with the manufacturer/ supplier that placed it on the market, regardless where the product was imported from. 8

10 Labelling Regulation Energy labelling can be understood as the interface of ecodesign directive and the consumer, encouraging to purchase higher quality and more energy efficient luminaires, leading to savings and a better performance. In effect, the capability of the luminaire design has to be properly communicated via the new luminaire label, so the awareness of EU end-user is improved to make the proper choice. Luminaires are often sold with incorporated or accompanying lamps. Regulation 874/2012 ensures consumers are informed about compatibility of the luminaire with the energy efficiency of the lamps that can be used in the luminaire. It is important to highlight that the label for luminaires does not refer to energy efficiency of the luminaire. STAGES OF LABELLING REQUIREMENTS 874/2012 Stage 1 Sep 2013 Stage 2 Sep 2014 Stage 3 Sep 2016 Directive 92/75/EEC Labelling of household appliances Establishes requirements for: Filament lamps Fluorescest lamps HID Lamps LED Lamps Luminaires operating these lamps Directive 98/11/EC Energy labelling for household lamps Directive 2010/30/EC Regulation 874/2012 Establishes framework for labelling and standard product information This regulation will be revised in 2015 OUT OF THE SCOPE OF THIS DIRECTIVE, NOT NEEDING TO BE LABELLED, ARE LUMINAIRES THAT OPERATE: Lamps and LED modules with a luminous flux of less than 30 lumens and higher than lumens; Lamps and LED modules marketed to operation with bateries; Lamps and LED modules marketed for applications where their primary purpose is not lighting (signaling, image projection, etc.); And also lamps and LED modules marketed as part of a luminaire not intended to be removed by the end-user. 9

11 Labelling Regulation In order to comply with this Regulation it is recommended that luminaire manufacturer complete the following steps: 1. Determine the Efficiency class of compatible lamps and of the lamp(s) provided with the Luminaire (if any) 2. Prepare and make available the label for the luminaires to be sold at the point of sale. 3. Prepare the proper product documentation for product leaflets and product information websites. YES e.g. END-USER related Suppliers information to be provided with: YES Price quote Tenders Technical INFOs Advertisment Luminaire presented at a point of sale LUMINAIRE Intended to be marketed to END-USERS NO e.g. Internet shop INFORMATION (same as required for label in any format) To be reported in: Price quote Tenders Technical INFOs Advertisment NO e.g. PROFESSIONAL NO ACTION for Supplier (no INFOs and no luminaire Label. Also they should not sell it to END-USERS If eventually YES, Suppliers must give FROM WHICH DATE MUST THE LABEL BE USED? The requirements of the energy labelling Regulation mandatorily apply from 1st September 2013! But luminaires already placed on the market prior to 1st March 2014 can continue to be sold. CAN A MANUFACTURER JUST REFER THE LABEL OF A LUMINAIRE IN A CATALOGUE PAGE OR MUST THEY PRINT IT CLOSE TO EACH LUMINAIRE? Yes, they can. For supplier, the label information is mandatory only at supplier s web site. No minimum mandatory information is required in catalogues of manufacturers. This is also valid for product brochures, flyers, etc. 10

12 I Supplier s name or trade mark I II II III IV Supplier s model identifier (e.g. alphanumeric code, preventing any kind of ambiguousity between different models). According to the specific situation, the sentence on compatibility of the luminaire with lamps can either be: This luminaire is compatible with bulbs of the energy classes: This luminaire contains built-in LED lamps. This luminaire contains built-in LED lamps and has sockets for bulbs of the energy classes: According to the specific situation, the range of energy-efficiency classes of compatible lamps are shown by the following: Bulb pictogram indicating the classes of user-replaceable lamp Red cross over the classes of lamps with which the luminaire is not compatible Letters LED arranged vertically along the classes A to A++ if the luminaire contains LED modules not intended to be removed by the end-user. III IV V V According to the specific situation, the sentence reporting the type of lamp it contains (if any) can either be: The luminaire is sold with a bulb of the energy class: pictogram with the class The lamps cannot be changed in the luminaire Empty space if there are no lamps included within the luminaire The exact correct measures of the label are set in Annex I THERE IS A MINIMUM SIZE FOR THE LABEL, BUT IF IT DOES NOT FIT THE PACKAGE CAN IT BE MINIMIZED FURTHER? No, there is no reduction allowed. This is because the European Commission did not really want the label on the luminaire box, but rather on the manufacturer s website or directely supplied to the dealer so he can be able to display it at the point of sale. DOES THE LABEL NEED THE SUPPLIER S NAME/ TRADEMARK AND MODEL NUMBER IF IT IS ON THE LUMINAIRE BOX? Strictly according to the Regulation, yes. But where this information is presented elsewhere on the box this is considered sufficient. However an electronic complete version should also be available via website in case dealers wish to display this version. 11

13 III Labelling Regulation IV V I II If better suited, there is absolutely no problem to supply a label in the horizontal format, provide it complies with regulated dimensions. INFORMATION TO BE ALWAYS PROVIDED WITH LUMINAIRES WHEN MARKETED TO END-USERS: Besides information specified in the label according to product s characteristics, luminaires must also be accompanied by the following technical documentaion: name and address of the supplier; a general description of the model, sufficient for it to be unequivocally and easily identified; where appropriate, the references of the harmonized standards applied and/or the other technical standards and specifications used; the identification and signature of the person empowered to bind the supplier; the technical parameters for determining compatibility with lamps, specifying at least one realistic combination of product; setings and conditions in which to test the product. CAN THE LUMINAIRE LOGO IN THE LABEL BE DIFFERENT? Yes. Suppliers can use their own product picture, logo etc. relevant to the specific product. Also, the word luminaire can be substituted by the particular luminaire type or the product where it is integrated (e.g. furniture, book shelf, etc.) DOES THE LABEL NEED TO BE IN COLOUR? Yes it does. Although lamp s label can be black and white, there is no monochrome option for the label for luminaires. Nevertheless, it is suffice to make it available in electronic format (e.g. downloadable from the manufacturers website). Printed label is not mandatory for manufacturers to supply, only optional. 12

14 LED Luminaires LED modules have now a full range of requirements under CE marking, both for energy efficiency and functionality. If complying, and integrated in a luminaire, they can be placed on the market directly by the luminaire manufacturer. Product Type Safety Standard Performance Standard LED luminaires LED modules for general lighting IEC IEC Edition 1 Publication 2008 IEC/ PAS Ed. 1: Luminaire performance Part 2-1: Particular requirement for LED IEC/ PAS Published 2011 Control gear for LED modules IEC Published 2006 IEC Published 2006 Both IEC/PAS performance requirements documents provide: the definition of a set of quality criteria related to the initial specifications of a product; a standardised description on how to measure these quality criteria. This makes manufacturers claims of initial specifications of LED modules and luminaires comparable. Also, LED luminaire manufacturers should publish product specifications that are in compliance with the IEC/PAS performance requirements. These documents will be superseded by EN standards in the future. ARE LED MODULES EXEMPT FROM REGULATION 1194/2012? No they are not. Requirements settled for LED lamps in the regulation, extend also to LED modules! These shall only be exempted from the requirements of 1194/2012 if they are marketed as part of luminaires that are placed in the market in less than 200 units per year. 13 Techical documentation that manufacturers of LED luminaires should provide is referred in Annexes V and VI of Directive 2009/125/EC. Market surveillance procedures of LED modules not intended to be removed from the luminaire are set in Annex IV of Regulation 1194/2012. DO UNREMOVABLE LED MODULES FREE THEIR LUMINAIRES FROM COMPLYING WITH THE REGULATION? Luminaires, from which no LED lamp or module can be extracted for testing, should not offer a way for LED manufacturers escape 1194/2012 requirements. Components, like lamp modules and control gears/ devices shall comply with Ecodesign, both for energy efficiency and funcionality.

15 Lamp Suppliers Information It is mandatory that lamp manufacturers and suppliers provide the information below for both luminaire manufacturers and suppliers. Although not mandatory, CRI information should also be provided. For non-directional lamps (244/2009, Annex II.3.1) a) nominal lamp power b) Nominal life time c) Number of switching cycles before premature failure; d) Colour temperature; e) Warm-up time up to 60 % of the full light output f) A warning if the lamp cannot be dimmed or with specific dimmers only ; g) Information on non-standard conditions designed for optimal use (if any); h) Lamp dimensions in millimeters (length and diameter); i) Claimed equivalence with an incandescent lamp, if any, rounded to 1 W; j) if the lamp complies with the efficacy requirements applicable to non-clear lamps in Stage 1 according to Tables 1, 2 and 3, a message like energy saving lamp or similar can be displayed. If the lamp contains mercury A) Lamp mercury content (X,X mg); B) Indication which website to consult in case of accidental lamp breakage. For directional lamps (1194/2012, Annex III.3.1.2) These lamps have the same requirements of nondirectional lamps but with the following diferences: Substitute: a) for a) Nominal useful luminous flux i) for i) Equivalence claim involving the power of a replaced lamp type, if the case j) for j) Warning that the lamp is not suitable for accent lighting (if the lamp s beam angle is 90 and its useful luminous flux is measured in a 120 cone); Include: k) Drawing comparing the lamp s dimensions to the dimensions of the filament lamp(s) it replaces (if the case); l) Indication of the lamp type of extra-low voltage reflector as listed in the EU Regulation, if the case; m) Nominal beam angle; CAN A LUMINAIRE CONTAIN ANYKIND OF LAMP(S) THE MANUFACTURER DECIDES TO? When a luminaire is placed on the market, its lamp(s), if intended to be replaced by the end-user, must be of one of the two highest energy classes the luminaire is compatible with. LED modules, not intended to be removed by the end- user, do not need to be labelled at all. MY LUMINAIRES ARE NOT SOLD TO END USERS, DO I NEED A LABEL? No you do not. Anyhow the label for luminaires can be provided with the label on the luminaire manufacturer web site, hence available for the dealer/retailer; this to close any doubts in case of the luminaire is sold to the end-user even if it is not intended for. 14

16 The EU regulation sets mandatory efficiency and quality criteria manufacturers have to comply with, as well as a declaration of conformity that manufacturers have to provide to suppliers. These will act as an intermideate with end-users. Consumers are paying more attention to the benefits of LED-products and good quality CFL lamps, that also provide substantial energy savings and smaller CO2 emissions. A good co-operation between lamp manufacturers, luminaire manufacturers and suppliers, especially concerning LED products, will ease the market transformation. Suppliers procurement of high standard luminaires and high quality lamps will develop new efficient high quality lighting solutions, including integration of lighting in furniture and more options for bathroom and kitchen lighting. This way consumers will have access to better products, saving money and the environment.

18 Considerations for good luminaires PremiumLight initiative supports co-operation between lamp and luminaire manufactures and suppliers in the development of new lighting high quality solutions in order to improve their product portfolio. A good LOR (light output ratio) and a good LEF (luminaire efficiency factor) are very important, but other important recomendations and criteria have to be considered. Luminous efficacy of the light source 5 to 100 lm/w Electrical power (watt, W) Useful luminous flux (lumens, lm) Efficiency of the ballast 80% to 95% Light output ratio (LOR) of the luminaire 10% to 90% Parameters of the luminaire efficiency factor (LEF) ENERGY EFFICIENCY INDEX FOR THE DIFFERENT LAMP TYPES NON DIRECTIONAL DIRECTIONAL A++ A+ A B C D E EEI 0,11 0,11 < EEI 0,17 0,17 < EEI 0,24 0,24 < EEI 0,6 0,6 < EEI 0,8 0,8 < EEI 0,95 > 0,95 Lamps EEI Lamps Soon, best LEDs (includind modules) Best LED lamps and modules; Best LFLs and CFLs Avg LEDs and modules; Avg CFLs and less efficient LFLs Less efficient CFLs and LEDs; Best halogen (extra-lv) Less efficient conventional extra-lv halogen Best 230V and conventional halogen; Best Incandescent 0,13 0,4 < EEI 0,95 Soon, best LEDs (includind modules) 0,13 < EEI 0,18 Current best LEDs and modules 0,18 < EEI 0,4 0,95 < EEI 1,2 1,2 < EEI 1,75 Typical Incandescent > 1,75 Average LEDs and modules; Average to good CFLs Less efficient CFLs and LEDs; Best halogen (extra-lv) Less efficient conventional extra-lv halogen Best 230V and conventional halogen; Best Incandescent Incandescent and less efficient 230V halogen SPOTLIGHT DOWNLIGHT RECESSED CEILING MOUNTED (CEILING) 17

19 Considerations for good luminaires Control Devices: It is recommended that manufacturers use efficient ballasts (A1 BAT, A2, A2 BAT) as soon as possible. BAT, Best Available Technology, means best performing products available on the market at the time. Sensors (daylight and movement) and regulators (for light dimming) are important assets to include in a high quality luminaire. Health and Safety: Check if the luminaire complies with EU standards. CE marking indicate it does. The supplier or manufacturer must have ISO certification (series 9000 and ideally and 50001). Avoid luminaires that have hazardous substances and non-sustainable materials, such as lead, mercury, cadmium and hexavalent chromium. Example of Best Practice: By 2016, IKEA Group, the world s biggest homefurnishing retailer, will only use LED lighting at their facilities and only sell LED products for lighting. They said The reason for this strategy is not just energy efficiency, it s the whole functionality from colour temperature through strength and durability. IKEA already acknowledged the maturity of the technology and they consider it the next best thing to natural light.

SELLING OBLIGATIONS f the luminaire is presented at the point of sale, the label must be displyed with it, in the relevant language version, in a clearly visible and legible manner. Also, must make the fiche available in the product brochure or other literature that accompanies products when sold to end-users. When the luminaire is sold with a lamp (intended to be replaced by end-users), that lamp s packaging must be included in the luminaire s packaging. Otherwise its information (see Annex II.3.1 of 244/2009 and Annex III of 1194/2012) must be included, in any format, outside or inside the luminaire s packaging.

21 How to promote LEDs PremiumLight has executed a market survey that provided a lot of information. For instance, on average, nearly 20% of our consumer s sample do not have a particular reason for not buying LEDs, which can indicate lack of awareness on how good LEDs can be for them. Another aspect, only 30% of the consumers buy LED spots instead of halogen spots although all the benefits of using LEDs. A perfectly understandable and assertive promotion of LED technology is thus very important. Clarification of the benefits and dismistification of misinformation should be tackled on suppliers promotion activities, namely brochures, highlighting the benefits both in energy efficiency and quality, with new optional funcionalities. STORE ON SITE PROMOTION: Demonstrate in the store LED lighting fixtures iluminating colourful objects, helps dismistify the notion consumers have of worse light quality than incandescente and halogen. Clearly distinguish with proper signalization (diferente colour section, energy efficient and Money saving signs, PremiumLight logo, etc.) the area dedicated with LEDs, and include brochures and other information materials (namely labelling and PremiumLight vídeo). PROMOTING MATERIALS INFORMATION: Aware that LEDs can be found with several sockets, shapes and sizes to fit cliente s luminaire. Enphasize the wide(r) range in colour temperatu- re that LEDs can offer for different rooms and specific activities. Refer LEDs have instant warm-up time and maximum luminous flux. Explain LEDs have a higher environmental responsability, with less energy related emissions and less material waste dumped. PROMOTING MATERIALS INFORMATION: Inform about lyfe cycle costs (people must be aware that, in the end, LEDs are the most economic solution. Must inform how to properly dim LED lamps. We don t want to create angry costumers if their LED can not be dimmed with installed control device. Explain how to avoid bad products, thus really paying for quality and not getting disapointed. A criteria table should be included. Enphasize and explain the importance/ aspects of the Labelling existing scheme Refer health aspects, namely dismistification about UV, flicker and blue light, and enphasize it does not have Mercury. Messages should be factual enough to be compelling but also userfriendly and simple enough to be memorable: LED the only efficient lamp without Mercury PROMOTING MATERIALS INFORMATION: Present case-studies of success, mentioning accomplished energy savings and CO2 reduction. Adress the phase-out of incandescent lamps and explain the retrofit simplicity of changing to LEDs, geting the same amount of light and light quality. Mention the extremely higher lifetime of LEDs (quantify and compare to others) and the convenience of not having to replace it on regular basis, especially in hard-to-reach locations. 20

22 PremiumLight Market Survey The consumer market survey conducted in 2012 included a total of 500 consumers in each of the 12 participating countries. Results showed that, even after the complete phase-out of the standard incandescent lamp, in fall 2012, a significant percentage of these lamps still need to be replaced by another technology. Halogen lamp technology, which has been introduced as replacement for classic incandescent lamps, typically ranges between 38 to 60%. On the other hand halogen spots constitute 10% to 28% of the lamps. Fluorescent technology use varies from 25% to 50%. As for LED lamps, it did show that the share of this technology is still low. Number of lamps per household ranged, in 2012, from 1% to 15% in the countries. The survey exposed that lighting control use is limited in the 12 countries. On average, 55% have no dimmers (30% have 1 or 2), 85% does not use movement sensors (10% have 1 or 2) and around 65% does not use daylight sensors (25% have 1 or 2). Hence there is a huge potential for inclusion and promotion, by manufacturers and suppliers, of the benefits of control features especially for LED products.

Around 90% acknowledge that lifetime, purchase cost, energy efficiency and light quality are (very) important. As for the not as relevant aspects, 48% thinks lamp design is important, 30% believe dimmability is also important, and only 20% acknowledge that brand matters. When possible, the supplier should enlight consumers on these features added value, if any, when it comes to a specific situation, namely dimmability. 21 (Very) Important Not or less important Energy Efficiency Lifetime Light Quality Operating Cost Purchase Cost Dimmability Lamp Design Brand % 25% 50% 75% 100%

23 Global Market Perspective Residential lighting represents aproximately 30% of the total lighting market, which is currently undergoing a radical change. Household luminaires represent more than 75% of the new anual installed luminaires in the general lighting market. The industry s focus will shift from light source replacement to new fixture installation thanks to longerlifetime technologies. Heavy investment from various companies is cuttng costs at a rate of 30 percent p.a. till 2014 and is estimated a drop of percent p.a. from This means LED is becoming a broadly affordable technology % 25% 50% 75% 100% Incandescent Hallogen LFL CFL LED FUTURE LEGAL FRAMEWORK AND TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT Phasing-out incandescent reflector lamps by 1st September Market assessment to decide whether some types of mains-voltage halogen lamps (e.g. GU10) will be phasedout on 1st September 2016 Revision of 874/2012 with perspectives of introducing an energy label for office luminaires Perspectives that luminaires sold after 1 September 2015 should be compatible with LED technology B1, B2 and A3 ballasts for fluorescent applications will be phased out. Compact fluorescent 2 pin lamps will be phased out. Therefor new designs of luminaires with lamps operating with electronic ballasts are recommended Halogen lamps with G9 and R7 sockets are not included in the regulation. Anyway, it is strongly recommended not to use these halogen solutions as they are an inefficient solution expected to be included in the revision of the regulation. Some manufactures provide G9 adapters which gives a loophole for the use of class C halogen lamps. There are very good new lighting solutions; please avoid outdated technology. Compatibility standards between lamps and luminaires are foreseen to become available in the near future. 22
