From now on, Tridonic will be providing an energy index for all LED light sources. This means that Tridonic is already meeting the requirements of implementation measure 874/2012 which will come into force in September and which requires all luminaires and light sources to have appropriate energy labeling.
From September 1, 2013 all light sources must carry an energy label, and from March 1, 2014 all luminaires.
In the case of luminaires, the energy label does not relate to the energy efficiency of the luminaire but to the efficiency of the lamps or LED modules that are used as the light source in the luminaire. The luminaire manufacturers must then make this information available to the end customers.
Tridonic is now making it easier for luminaire manufacturers by specifying the energy efficiency classes in the data sheets for TALEXX LED modules. Tridonic is therefore already complying with the directive – there are no plans to display the label on the product.
