The member states of the European Union are working together to harmonise standards, directives and regulations related to the placing on the market of electrical energy consuming products and their eco-design.

Most of the products connected to the electrical networks are concerned and the regulations resulting from this collaboration between EU member states are applicable from 1 September 2021, depending on the family to which these products belong.

Because the “lighting” family is concerned, SEAMAID accompanies you to better understand these regulations and the new obligations they entail.

EU 2019/2020* REGULATION

This regulation defines the ecodesign rules for a light source including energy performance, lifetime, power consumption… to regulate its entry on the market.

The old incandescent and halogen technologies, highly energy consuming, are no longer allowed to be sold in Europe.

ONLY COMPLIANT LED LIGHT SOURCES CAN BE SOLD

SEAMAID LIGHTINGS

SEAMAID projectors and lamps are luminaires containing an extractable LED light source in either white or RGB lighting.

SEAMAID RGB light sources not producing white colour and those operating solely on battery power are not impacted.

The new classification is indicated on packaging, in notices, catalogues and data sheets of luminaires using the simplified energy class symbol and the associated QR code.
