MEPS for LED lamps

This proposal will come into force no earlier than 1 September 2021 and entails: Introducing minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) aligned with the EU standards for LED lamps outlined in the European Commission Ecodesign regulations published in February 2019; Adopt test parameters and performance requirements for LED lamps aligned with those that will be adopted in the EU. This will cover energy efficiency, lamp colour rendering, power factor and flicker; Require basic markings on the product and packaging of LED lamps (including lumens, colour temperature, and lifetime) to make consumer information consistent, and help consumers choose efficient lighting to replace inefficient lamps at low cost.
