Model Regulation Guidelines for Conventional Consumer Light Bulbs

The Model Regulation Guidelines for conventional consumer light bulbs simplify the deployment, adoption and enforcement of standard regulation on lighting efficiency.

The Guidelines contain all essential elements, including product scope, definitions, test methods, minimum efficiency levels, and a set of minimum performance requirements along with market surveillance to ensure consumers’ satisfaction with LED bulbs.

If developing and emerging economies could switch to efficient LED lighting overnight for conventional consumer light bulbs, they would save $18 billion on electricity bills and prevent 160 million tonnes of CO₂ from going into the atmosphere each year. Countries implementing the regulation will also reduce trade barriers and provide opportunities for sharing resources, such as testing facilities.

The Guidelines were developed together by public and private stakeholders, all sharing the common objective to accelerate the transition towards developing and emerging economies.
