ELC & CELMA, together in
RoMS
ELC & CELMA work together in RoMS (Roll-
Out Member States), the first joint lighting
industry national outreach programme on
energy efficiency

Currently, one of few such joint industry programmes in
Europe
Currently operating actively in 12 countries and soon
operating in more European countries

Working together to..
Support European governments to develop policy and other
measures that deliver significant CO
2
emission reductions
through increasing the uptake of energy efficient lighting.
Help governments to meet their National and European
targets in a quick, practical and cost effective way.
Help to identify the barriers to change and assist end users
to overcome these barriers.
Work with a range of stakeholders (our value chain, NGOs,
retailers etc) to develop and communicate user friendly
information to end consumers on how to achieve savings
through energy efficient lighting technology.

Lighting a significant
consumer of electricity


Lighting consumes 14% of all
electricity consumption within
the EU and 19% of global
electricity consumption.
International Energy Agency

Lighting requires as much
electricity as is produced by all
gas-fired generation and 15%
more than produced by either
hydro or nuclear power.

The current picture
Over 60% of all Europes lighting = inefficient

1/3 of street lighting in Europe still based on old, outdated and
inefficient technology
current switch over rate is 3% per year - meaning it will take another
generation to upgrade
average life-time of lighting installation = 40 years
new technology available, more energy efficient and better quality light

More than 75% of office lighting systems still inefficient
current switch over rate is 7% per year
average life-time of lighting installation = 25 years
huge differences in efficiency between old and new systems (energy
saving potential 30-80%)

Approximately 85% of lamps currently in EU homes are energy
inefficient.

THE ELC & CELMA JOINT
POSITION ON LIGHTING

January 2008
The ELC & CELMA response
3 key issues:

1. EU-wide Product Standards
2. National measures to encourage renovation of
existing lighting installations
3. EU-wide Lighting Design Legislation to improve
light quality as well as the energy efficiency of
the lighting installation

Overview
Through its joint position, ELC and CELMA aim to ensure a
quick and effective follow-up to the EUs public
commitments from March 2007 on developing a low carbon
economy, in particular through a 20% increase in energy
efficiency by 2020.

Lighting can contribute via
EU-wide product standards
Renovation of existing installations
EU-wide lighting installation design criteria
Page 15
January 2008
Issue 1: Product standards (I)

Goal: development of Implementing Measures
under the EuP Directive
Timing: this is the first and quickest way to
secure significant energy and CO2 savings for new
lighting products placed in the EU market
Labelling: CE-marking, sole means of
identification!


Page 16

Issue 1: Product standards (II)
Scope:
IMs should be formulated independently for each of the lighting
EuPs (lamps, ballasts, optical systems of luminaires and control
systems - standby power)
Support for selected product technology-based categories and
application-independent
IMs should contain generic energy efficiency criteria for the
specific product categories listed in the Eco-profiles tables
provided by ELC and CELMA, independent of the application
area the products identified by the Commission will be
removed from the total market!
Luminaire optical part tables should not lead to additional
requirements for lamp categories for which no Eco-profiles have
been defined
Page 17
January 2008
Issue 2: Renovation of existing
installations

Goal: adoption of complementary national
legislation that encourage the renovation of
existing low performing installations, starting with
street and office lighting

nEEAPs under the ESD, a tool to achieve this!


Page 18
January 2008
Issue 3: EU-wide
Lighting Design Legislation

Goal: development of harmonized EU-wide energy saving
and performance criteria for lighting installations, through
authority certification of lighting designs, based on European
Legislation
Such rules:
Would ensure the improvement of light quality whilst achieving energy
savings
Could be part of building codes and public procurement rules in the
Member States

Conclusions
ELC & CELMA commit to policy-makers and
regulators:
To assist the development of workable
Implementing Measures under the EuP Directive by
providing technical lighting expertise
To provide assistance to drive renovation through
nEEAPs through our Roll Out Member State (ROMS)
network
To build awareness for the need of harmonised lighting
design criteria to push for larger savings in installations
