New EU energy labels for light bulbs will apply from September 1

Confused?

Helen O’Dwyer, of Solus, writes:

A brand-new version of the widely-recognised EU energy label for light bulbs and light sources will be applicable in all shops and online retailers from September 1st  with an 18-month transition period for products already on the market.

The most important change is a return to a simple A-G scale on energy labels because more and more products are now achieving ratings as A, A+ or A++ according to the current scale causing confusion for consumers.  [Solus webinar on the changes here]

The new energy label will leave empty energy efficiency classes at the top of the scale for advancing technologies and to encourage manufacturers to develop more energy efficient products…

    Very illuminating piece

    Best of luck to Solus, a great Irish brand that continues to produce in Ireland when others relocated – and they can’t be blamed for Phoebus as it predates them ;-)

    The Current Wars is a good flick (no pun intended).

    Just thought I’d mention that movie. It’s surprisingly artfully filmed too :)
