Commission Regulation (EC) No 245/2009 of 18 March 2009 implementing Directive 2005/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for fluorescent lamps without integrated ballast, for high intensity discharge lamps, and for ballasts and luminaires able to operate such lamps, and repealing Directive 2000/55/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (Text with EEA relevance) (c. 245)

ANNEX III U.K. Ecodesign requirements for fluorescent and high intensity discharge lamps and ballasts and luminaires able to operate such lamps

1. REQUIREMENTS FOR FLUORESCENT LAMPS WITHOUT INTEGRATED BALLAST AND FOR HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE LAMPS U.K.

1.1. Lamp efficacy requirements U.K.

B. Second stage requirements U.K.

Three years after the entry into force of this Regulation, the following efficacy requirements shall apply to fluorescent lamps without integrated ballast and high-intensity discharge lamps.

Double capped fluorescent lamps U.K.

The requirements applicable to double capped fluorescent lamps 26 mm in diameter (T8) during the first stage shall apply to all double capped fluorescent lamps of other diameters than those covered in the first stage.

These lamps must conform to the minimum efficacy of the T8 lamp which is their nearest equivalent with regards to wattage. If the nominal wattage is higher than the highest wattage in the table, it shall conform to the efficacy of that highest wattage.

[F1 The corrections (Table 6) and the specific requirements for spiral-shaped double capped fluorescent lamps defined for the first stage shall continue to apply.]

Textual Amendments

F1 Substituted by Commission Regulation (EU) No 347/2010 of 21 April 2010 amending Commission Regulation (EC) No 245/2009 as regards the ecodesign requirements for fluorescent lamps without integrated ballast, for high intensity discharge lamps, and for ballasts and luminaires able to operate such lamps (Text with EEA relevance).

High-intensity discharge lamps U.K.

Lamps with Tc ≥ 5 000 K or equipped with a second lamp envelope shall fulfil at least 90 % of the applicable lamp efficacy requirements in tables 7, 8 and 9.

High Pressure Sodium lamps with Ra ≤ 60 shall have at least the rated luminous efficacies in Table 7:

[F1 Table 7

Rated minimum efficacy values for high pressure sodium lamps with Ra ≤ 60]

Nominal Lamp wattage [W]	Rated Lamp Efficacy [lm/W] — Clear lamps	Rated Lamp Efficacy [lm/W] — Not clear lamps
W ≤ 45	≥ 60	≥ 60
45 < W ≤ 55	≥ 80	≥ 70
55 < W ≤ 75	≥ 90	≥ 80
75 < W ≤ 105	≥ 100	≥ 95
105 < W ≤ 155	≥ 110	≥ 105
155 < W ≤ 255	≥ 125	≥ 115
255 < W ≤ 605	≥ 135	≥ 130

The requirements in Table 7 shall apply to high pressure sodium retrofit lamps designed to operate on high pressure mercury vapour lamp control gear only 6 years after the entry into force of this Regulation.

Metal halide lamps with Ra ≤ 80 and high pressure sodium lamps with Ra > 60 shall have at least the rated luminous efficacies in Table 8:

[F1 Table 8

Rated minimum efficacy values for Metal Halide Lamps with Ra ≤ 80 and for high pressure sodium lamps with Ra > 60]

Nominal Lamp Wattage [W]	Rated Lamp Efficacy [lm/W] — Clear lamps	Rated Lamp Efficacy [lm/W] — Not clear lamps
W ≤ 55	≥ 60	≥ 60
55 < W ≤ 75	≥ 75	≥ 70
75 < W ≤ 105	≥ 80	≥ 75
105 < W ≤ 155	≥ 80	≥ 75
155 < W ≤ 255	≥ 80	≥ 75
255 < W ≤ 405	≥ 85	≥ 75

Six years after the entry into force of this Regulation, other high intensity discharge lamps shall have at least the rated luminous efficacies in Table 9:

Rated minimum efficacy values for other high intensity discharge lamps

Nominal Lamp wattage [W]	Rated Lamp Efficacy [lm/W]
W ≤ 40	50
40 < W ≤ 50	55
50 < W ≤ 70	65
70 < W ≤ 125	70
125 < W	75
