EU September 18, 2010 release of non-directional light source EC244/2009 revised EuP Directive implementation of measures and regulations (EC859/2009). According to the directive, the EU will phase out the use of inefficient light Bulbs (traditional incandescent bulbs and halogen bulbs), all non-directional lamps (light bulbs) must comply with minimum energy efficiency requirements. Phase-out measures on September 1, 2009 began to require from 1 September 2009, the non-transparent light bulbs must be of A-type (classification according to EU energy efficiency label). Transparent lamp to achieve energy efficiency at least C-level category labels. After 2016, the requirements of a transparent light bulbs will be upgraded to B-class category, that is, unless the new technology appears, otherwise the EU market after 2016 will have only a transparent light energy efficiency B-class and low-voltage halogen lamps with energy-efficient C-class G9 or R7s lamp lights. Then lights will be energy efficient household compact fluorescent and LED lights (if led home lighting technology is popular) based. In addition, the regulations also rated life, lumen maintenance, the number of switching cycles before retirement, early retirement rates, start-up time, color-rendering index of performance and energy efficiency-related indicators were clearly defined.
National Electric Light Source Quality Supervision and Inspection Center (Shanghai) that the Deputy Director of Yuan Qi, LED directional light source is very good, but can also lamps and LED light distribution deSigned to be used in various non-directional light sources or lamps, that LED both directions can be made into a lamp, also can be made without the direction of the light used to directly replace the traditional light sources. The provisions of the EU pointed out recently to some extent the development of LED Lighting products in one direction, LED lighting products for the Chinese manufacturing enterprises in the European market has created tremendous business opportunities. Instructions for EC244/2009, Yuan Qi pointed out, LED in energy efficiency, switch shock, start time, mercury content compared with conventional light sources have an unparalleled natural advantages, but in the current technology level, the color, luminous flux maintain the rate and service life also need to work hard. China LED lighting products business as long as in these areas seriously, this is as "green trade barriers" legislation is a breakthrough, when the regulations but will become China's LED Lighting Products Marketing Europe's "green channel." Philips Lighting Asia Pacific Region, director of solid state lighting standardized Zong also said that the Development from the current LED, LED lighting fixtures have all reached or exceeded the EU energy efficiency label required by A-level, China's energy efficiency standards are being developed to some extent higher than the target set by the EU, so EU energy efficiency label system would not significantly result in trade barriers for China LED companies, but for specific businesses, or to make product quality, reduce the light decline, improve service life and color sex.
