Requirements
Initial efficacy (η) given by formula:
η ≥ (2.8 ln(L) – 4.0) in lumens/Watt
where L = average measured initial luminous flux, in
lumens.
Life of the median lamp ≥ 2000 hours
Lumen maintenance at 75% of rated life ≥ 80%
Test Method
AS/NZS 4934.1(Int)
(references IEC 60064
and IEC 60630)
• Mains voltage halogen non-reflector lamps :
– Initial efficacy ≥ 0.95 × (2.8 ln (L) − 4.0). This lower requirement is effective till
October 2013.
• For ELV halogen reflector lamps, the average measured wattage shall be
no more than 37W effective from 14 April 2012.
