European lamps become more energy efficient
The EU has set new energy efficiency requirements that lamps produced for the EU market need to fulfil as from 1 September 2009.
Traditional incandescent and halogen bulbs will be gradually phased out from the market by the end of 2012.
However, particular care was taken to ensure that consumers will find lamp alternatives either offering the same light quality or higher energy savings.
