Energy Efficient Lamps

Energy Efficient Lamps (EEL) save between 30% and 90% in electricity costs depending on the type. For example, halogen lamps save 30% of the electricity whereas LED lamps can save up to 90% in comparison with incandescent lamps. Though the initial investment required for EEL is much higher than for conventional lighting, the benefits in terms of cost and energy saving over the lamp lifecycle are tremendous. Increasing consumer awareness of the lifecycle savings will outweigh the high initial costs associated with energy efficient lamps.

The huge potential of energy efficient lamps to reduce GHG emissions is driving the market in Europe. The EU has a target to reduce GHG emissions by 20% by the year 2020 with 1990 as the base year and had achieved a reduction of 9.3% by 2007.  Presently, 14% of the electricity consumption is accounted for by lighting in the EU and almost two-thirds of the lamps used are inefficient. One energy efficient lamp can save 30kg of CO2 (carbon dioxide) per year as compared to an incandescent equivalent. If all the incandescent lamps used in the domestic applications were to be replaced by the energy efficient lamps an estimated annual saving of 23 million tonnes of CO2 could be achieved in Europe.

Robust sales growth of halogen lamps is expected due to the ban of incandescent lamps in Europe. The halogen lamps market in Europe grew at a CAGR of 10.8% from 432 million units in 2005 to 587 million units in 2008 and is anticipated to have a CAGR of 16.2% during the forecast period 2009–2015. Halogen lamps are based on similar technology to incandescent lamps and are more familiar to consumers. They have the capability to saves 30% in energy owing to their improved filament technology. Also, halogen lamps are compatible with existing incandescent lamp fixtures, further reducing the investment burden on consumers. Halogen lamps have a longer life span than incandescent lamps but with similar luminance at the same wattage.
