Annex II Energy efficiency classes and calculation method

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

The energy efficiency class of light sources shall be determined as set out in Table 1, on the basis of the total mains efficacy ηTM, which is calculated by dividing the declared useful luminous flux Φuse (expressed in lm) by the declared on-mode power consumption Pon (expressed in W) and multiplying by the applicable factor FTM of Table 2, as follows:

ηTM = (Φuse/Pon) × FTM (lm/W).

C160 ≤ ηΤM < 185
D135 ≤ ηΤM < 160
E110 ≤ ηΤM < 135
F85 ≤ ηΤM < 110
GηΤM < 85
