The EU should make lighting to return to the past? Draft regulations or by the industry changes

According to LUX reports, the EU regulations have put forward a possibility: may go back to the previous "light" lighting + can replace the day.

According to this radical suggestion, lamp manufacturers will be in September 2020 before the need to let the light from the lamp can be removed and replaced.

Ecological design (Ecodesign) draft law stipulates: "the manufacturers and importers shall ensure that the regulations within the scope of the light source and a control device separately, the end user can easily remove, without causing permanent mechanical damage."

Separate control device in the terminal users can not easily removed and light conditions, manufacturers and importers shall ensure that product design methods need to make qualified professionals can easily remove and separate light source control device."

These suggest that if passed, will have a significant impact on the production of lamps.

In recent years, with the LED dominate the market, manufacturers will be LED and the light source are integrated, LED usually subject and radiator or equipment connection. Many lamps, especially with higher level of protection, are all sealed device.

If I get to this new way, will be a major change for those who invested heavily in automation of enterprises. In addition, only the proposed schedule - 28 months - is also expected to be challenged.

Recommendations also suggest that effective 2020 to prohibit the use of tungsten halogen lamp and compact fluorescent lamp as light source. Minimum requirements for all light efficiency of 85 LM / W, the maximum standby power of 0.5 watts, will come into effect.

And this point by theater and live venues against, because these places on the main light source, such as HPL single end tungsten lamp. According to the previous law, this field is immunity. The International Association of lighting designers have launched a campaign called Save Stage Lighting (save stage illumination) movement against these suggestions. (Editor: LED James)
