ECODESIGN

Ecodesign guideline

The eco-compatible design criteria (Ecodesign) established by the new European regulation focus attention on the need to meet three fundamental objectives.

First of all, the light sources, as well as the power supply units, must be “accessible and available” to carry out the controls required by the market. In addition, the light sources and power supply units must be “removable” to ensure the repairability of the luminaire in the event of failure of these elements.

Finally, both elements must be “replaceable” to allow the eventual upgrade / implementation of the luminaire, where more efficient or in any case better components are available in the near future.

For a high level of LED performance

Since nowadays LEDs are increasingly used in various applications, with this new regulation the European Commission aims to regulate the light sources used in various products, even if different from luminaires, in order to reach the European market a high level of performance of the LEDs used.
