Residential lighting accounts for 30% of the total lighting
market. Recent estimates indicate lighting represents 14%
of all electricity consumption in the European Union (EU).
Therefor new EU legislation for domestic lighting has been
set and has strongly influenced the development of the
lighting market between 2009 and 2013. PremiumLight
project has already issued brochures for consumers,
retailers and restaurants&hotels. This brochure focus
on luminaire manufacturers and suppliers who have an
important role to play in the transition to use high quality
energy efficient lighting.

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

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.

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.

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).

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.

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
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.

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.

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.

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:”

IV 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.

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
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.

The exact correct
measures of the label are
set in Annex I - 2.4
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.

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
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.

∤∤ 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.
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.
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.
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;
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
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.

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.
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.
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 14000 and 50001).
Avoid luminaires that have hazardous substances and non-sustainable
materials, such as lead, mercury, cadmium and hexavalent chromium.

Suppliers - Obligations
Suppliers must be provided with a label and luminaire’s
related contentes, as information, for every luminaire
placed in the market as of 1st March 2014.
INFORMATION OBLIGATIONS
The information contained in the label (see pages 11 and 12) must
always be available, even when the label itself is not needed, in
any:
∤∤ Advertisement, formal price quote or tender offer of a luminaire
∤∤ Promotion material where specific lamp or luminaire technical
parameters are described
Format of the information can be as the supplier deems
appropriate.
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.3.1.2 of 1194/2012) must be included, in

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:
PROMOTING MATERIALS INFORMATION:
∤∤ 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).
∤∤ 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:
∤∤ 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:
∤∤ 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.

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.

The survey also analysed the relative relevance of certain
performance factors, in order to evaluate the buyer’s
main purchasing criteria. 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.

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 10 - 15 percent p.a. from 2015 - 20. This means LED is
becoming a broadly affordable technology.

FUTURE LEGAL FRAMEWORK AND TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT
Phasing-out incandescent reflector lamps by 1st September 2014
2014
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
2015
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.
2017
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.
