Policies

To deliver the lighting industry’s Strategic Roadmap and increase the value of lighting by 2025, LightingEurope focuses on Better Enforcement, Sound Product Rules, Value of Lighting and Sustainability. LightingEurope also specifically addresses certain applications of lighting technology: Emergency Lighting, Automotive Lighting and UV-C Disinfection Technologies

LightingEurope advocates the Better Enforcement of EU rules to provide safe and quality products for users and a level playing field for all economic actors on the EU market.

Lighting products are subject to many EU rules: ecodesign, energy efficiency, energy labelling, safety requirements for low voltage, electromagnetic or radio emitting products and obligations to provide information.

Europe’s lighting industry has taken the lead in sustainability, not only by delivering significant energy savings but also with our track record in extending the lifetime of products, reducing hazardous substances and collecting and recycling of waste products.

LightingEurope advocates for #BetterLighting. Light enables vision, it helps us navigate our surroundings and makes us feel safe. But light can do so much more.

Emergency lighting is present in all types of buildings, from hospitals to schools, hotels, offices or residential buildings and is on when the electric supply to the normal lighting fails. Emergency lighting provides illumination and guidance for occupants to safely exit a building in the case of an incident. Emergency lighting is mandatory, needs continuous assessment and should be maintained.

LightingEurope advocates for #BetterLighting. Light enables vision, it helps us navigate our surroundings and makes us feel safe. But light can do so much more.

By leveraging the potential of Human Centric Lighting, we combine the visual, biological, and emotional benefits of light to also support people’s health, well-being and performance. Human Centric Lighting provides the right light, at the right place and the right time for the activities we carry out each and every day whether we are at home, school, hospital, offices or on the street.

#BetterLighting is enabled by lighting systems that combine controls and sensors with smartness. Intelligent lighting systems can not only deliver significant additional energy savings, but also make our environments more attractive and functional by allowing users to dynamically adapt light to specific needs.

LightingEurope’s Value of Lighting Working Group engages with EU regulators to deliver the value of lighting, by creating a built environment that is not only energy efficient but is also better for people.
