Lux magazine reports:

Row looms over delay in halogen lamp ban

19 MAY 2014

A row is brewing among lamp makers over the possible postponement of the ban of halogen lamp formats.

Numerous halogen sources, including low-voltage MR16, G9 and mains GU10, are due to be banned in 2016 as part of the European Commission’s DIM regulations.

But it’s looking increasingly likely that the scheduled phase-out of the lamps will be delayed until at least 2018 because it’s unlikely that low-cost LED replacements will be ready in time.

It’s almost certain that G9s will be allowed to remain on the market as LED lamp makers have struggled to replicate this format.

The phase-out of MR16 is also problematic because if low-cost, quality LED alternatives are not available, the only substitute are versions with an infrared coating (IRC). This opens up the possibility that the US manufacturer which owns the patent for the IRC process could be gifted a monopoly on the market.

‘The European Commission is terrified of creating black holes [of missing lamp formats] in the market as it will fuel anti-EU sentiment and play well in the Eurosceptic press,’ said one source. ‘The format that everyone gets worked up about is MR16 but the IRC patent issue is a massive spanner in the works.’

Major manufacturers of LED lamps are unhappy with the growing pressure for a delay in the halogen ban. ‘It looks like the goalposts are being moved,’ said Fred Bass, managing director of Neonlite International, owner of the Megaman brand.  ‘In my view, it’s not sensible to push back the date of the final ban on mains voltage halogen lamps by a further two years and leave these high energy lamps on the market for a more than four years from today.

‘From a technological point of view, LED lighting technology is progressing so rapidly, surely it makes more sense to make decisions on the extension of the halogens phase-out deadline much closer to the ban’s implementation, rather than now?

‘This would be more realistic given the pace of change in this technology at present and would also be in line with the precedent set in lighting regulation 1194/2012, which cites the need for a review of the phase-out ‘based on affordability issues’ that is allowed up to a year before its implementation.

‘In addition, I feel that the decision to extend the phase out to over four years from now, when the pace of change in LEDs is so fast at this time, will result in the loss of an opportunity to significantly reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. As well as impacting our environment negatively, this revision sends the wrong message.’

How one police force is embracing LED lighting

Terry Anderson

Building manager, Northamptonshire Police

We’re starting to introduce LEDs

We’ve used LEDs when we’ve done office refurbishments. We’ve gone from individual cellular offices to open-plan offices at the force headquarters in Northampton. We’ve done this primarily to house more people. And when we’ve done this we’ve converted the old T5s and T8s to LED.

I’ve also used them outside under walkways. I’ve recently completed a project where I’ve replaced a load of SON 80s with LED spotlights on a building for general lighting around our firearms range. That’s probably the most adventurous project I’ve attempted with the police force. They’re very old school.

Initial installations have been successful

LEDs are reducing our energy consumption. Most of our buildings are old, and so the Display Energy Certificates (DEC) are very low. The energy being used against the floor area of the building doesn’t quite work out, and it drags our DECs down.

By changing as many of the old lights to LED as we can, we’re reducing our energy consumption and cutting down on maintenance. The reason we’re doing the upgrades is for long-term cost saving.

The force isn’t as tech-savvy as I’d like

I think it’s getting there, but I think we as a force have to catch up, which we are with the new buildings. I’ve done one complete station in Rushdon with LED, a small one. We also opened a new building about 18 months ago that has a full control system everywhere and energy-efficient lighting, but they’re not LED fittings.

We used PL36s which are low energy and high frequency but not as efficient as LEDs. We have controls on the lights but the controls aren’t yet hooked up to the building management system. But now, any new building we do will have lighting controls.

Safety and security comes first

The work I do is quite unique, it’s different from a normal property manager because of the environment that I work in. I did one complete station with LED. We have to think about safety, and be sure before we install anything. You can’t have lights going on and off in custody areas, and we have to find different ways of making lights that have to be on all the time more efficient.

Cost has to be taken into account

Everything is financially driven, especially with budgets being cut the way they are. It constricts us considerably, but now that trials have been successful, it’s easier to put a case forward. Providing it’s not one of these projects where it’s given to a contractor and they’re asked to design and supply, we’ll have it done the way we want it – if we’ve got any input – and that means getting the best value for the public’s money.

I’m governed a lot by cost. I’m spending your money, I’m spending my money, I’m spending everybody’s money, so I’ve got to get the best value for the pound, and that’s what I’m looking for all the time. Value and reliability are important. If one lamp was £2 and one was £2.50 and I knew the more expensive one was better, I’d invest in that one.

Controls didn’t work well for us at first

We introduced controls a few years ago, primarily in corridors. Our old property manager was a bit old school. I wanted to put them in general public areas like corridors and toilets, but he wouldn’t let me put them in toilets. The main problem we had with those controls was that the old style lighting didn’t react fast enough if there was an emergency, if there’s a policeman running through the corridor because an alarm has sounded in the cells.

Lighting for the police has some unique requirements

The lighting inside the firing arms range is controlled by the building management system and is used to create different scenarios. You can make the lights flash on and off, and all sorts of strange things happen with the lighting to simulate different training environments. The day will come when we turn ordinary fluorescents to LED, but for the moment, we’re leaving that side of the business alone.

THE DETAILS

Terry Anderson manages energy across Northamptonshire Police, which employs 1,200 police officers and more than 1,000 other staff. The police authority has set a target of reducing the consumption of gas and electricity by five per cent year on year, and

Anderson works with new lighting technology to achieve this goal. With a large operational fleet of 414 vehicles, and a multitude of buildings, the authority has a large carbon footprint to cut down.

A policy of increasing the use of diesel has helped to cut down on carbon emissions, and now the authority is looking to achieve similar reductions in its buildings, including its headquarters (pictured).

LED GU10 Lamps – The Smarter Way to Illuminate Your Space

Looking to create a quality, sophisticated ambience with lighting? Trying to control the budget at the same time? Dont let lighting burn a hole in your pocket, invest in LED GU10 Lamps that are perfect for efficient illumination and have a longer rated life than incandescent lights whilst producing much less heat. You may have experienced a temperature increase in your rooms when using  incandescent lighting. This is because incandescents are very poor at converting electricity into light, but they’re really good at turning it into heat! Moreover, you may have also noticed that incandescent lights burn out and stop working very quickly. So, why make repeated investments in these lamps?

LED GU10 Lamps

Another important factor to consider is the inherent reduction in maintenance costs (lamps and labour) due to the much longer lifespans. LED GU10s are truly fit-and-forget devices for any indoor or outdoor setting..

These lamps are ideal for offices, industrial settings, shops and hotels where constant lighting is a must. By using such high quality lighting, you can also reduce electricity costs. So, invest smartly to illuminate your space!
