Energy Label

The energy label, also known as standardized energy consumption labeling, is a label designed uniformly across the EU that informs consumers about the energy efficiency of electrical appliances. The rule is: the better the energy efficiency, the less electricity the light fixture consumes. This is also reflected in your electricity bill. A slightly higher purchase price compared to less energy-efficient models thus pays for itself over the luminaire’s lifetime.

Because of its Europe-wide standardization, this energy label is not only used for lighting products but also for many other electrical appliances. Its widespread use and clear labeling are intended to make purchasing decisions easier. ForMains voltage For lamps in use, the energy label has been used since September 1, 2013, in accordance with EU Directive 92/75/EEC, and indicates theEnergy Efficiency Classes in a concise, easy-to-read format. This overview ranges from the most efficient energy class, A+++, to the least efficient, class G, and also provides information about the manufacturer, the lamp’s power consumption, and the product codes.

However, there are exceptions to this energy label, since lights with aLuminous flux under 30Lumen as well as lamps that are not primarily intended forLighting are not required to be labeled as such. For the remaining lighting, however, the goal is to clearly demonstrate high light quality with low power consumption directly on the packaging.
