This document discusses the opportunities for energy savings through high-quality lighting technologies. It notes that lighting currently accounts for 19% of global electricity consumption, with up to 75% of existing lighting being inefficient. New efficient solutions exist across applications like road lighting, shops, offices, and homes. However, market renovation rates are too slow. Barriers include high purchase prices and lack of consumer understanding of long-term benefits. The document recommends stimulating demand through education, green procurement, and incentives. It also suggests restricting inefficient products by implementing performance standards and potentially banning some technologies to accelerate adoption of efficient solutions. Significant energy savings, cost savings for users, environmental benefits, and economic opportunities for Europe are possible but require concerted efforts across stakeholders

“Probably, long-term the single most important
issue we face as a global community.”

• New energy efficient solutions exist
for all segments, tomorrow we will have
even more energy saving solutions available (LEDs, OLEDs)
But:
Significant growth
The current market renovation rates are too slow !
(e.g. Street lighting 3%, Office Lighting 7% etc) potential

safety on roads

energy saving
EU Road Lighting - potential savings 3.5 Million tons of CO2

7. What is preventing the growth rate…
• The environmental benefits of energy efficient lamps speak for
themselves... but the market doesn’t always follow
• Purchase price and functional performance often take precedence
over environmental concern in our society -> Lobbying
• Functional performance has mainly addressed by most
manufacturers but… still huge number of cheap products imported
in EU which do not conform CE marking
• Most significant inhibiting factor is the high purchase price
• Lack of consumer understanding of the overall but long-term
benefits =Total cost of ownership benefits

8. What needs to be done….

9. What needs to be done…
1. by stimulating DEMAND - Energy service directives
- Public awareness and education (PLA)
- Green Procurement
- Allocate financial Incentives (eg. Street lighting)
2. by restricting AVAILABILITY - EUP Directive – Implementing
measures
- Amended Energy label, Standardization
- Market restriction on certain lamp and Luminaires
(not on flux but on lumens)
- Ban of high energy consuming lamps
(incandescent)

10. Supportive Policy Measures
Suggestions to accelerate market uptake of more
efficient products
1. Green Procurement
2. Financial incentives
3. Disallowing old inefficient products
Philips is part of European lobby to ban incandescent
Gives also “pain” in the organization to make the shift
4. Environmental performance targets
cooperate in defining and implementing standards,
guidelines, legislation

12. Summary
New, higher quality, lighting technology available:
This energy saving technology offers a unique triple win
1. Users / tax payers save costs & have better light quality
2. The environment benefits from lower energy/CO2 emissions
3. European competitiveness is strengthened
A triple effort needed
1. Accelerate the switch to new energy saving lighting solutions
2. More awareness and partnership between stakeholders
including financial institutions
3. Implement new legislation

some figures,….
(1kw energy = 0.42kg CO2)
Old Technology New technology
• Old fluorescent lamps • High efficiency TL5 fluorescent lamps
• Passive Analogue drivers • Active electronic drivers
• Lighting control systems
