The new ruling means that all new buildings will have to feature LED lighting.

Fitting Philips ‘Dubai Lamp’, will be made the basic requirement for getting a Building Completion Certificate in Dubai.

Philips struck up a good deal!.. All new buildings in Dubai will soon be compelled by law to install specific LED lamps, the municipality has ruled, after striking a deal with Philips Lighting to supply millions of light sources to the emirate.

Authorities in Dubai signed a five-year contract with Philips to create the ‘Dubai Lamp’, which, it it is claimed, will be the first commercially available 200 lumen per Watt LED lamp.

The new fixtures will replace 80 percent of traditional lights currently in the emirate’s residential buildings, and, as of this year, all new buildings constructed in the city will have have to feature the Philips LED.

Fitting LED in new buildings will be made the basic requirement for getting a Building Completion Certificate, by the end of this year.

The initiative will initially focus on new buildings and big complexes such as schools, hospitals, mosques and shopping centres. A study will also be undertaken to develop a strategy of implementation for older buildings, in an attempt to ensure that the scheme ensures a wider legacy and that energy savings and a positive environmental impact continue to grow overtime.

Philips has been commissioned by the Dubai authorities to manufacture and supply two million of the ‘Dubai Lamps’, which will not contain mercury or generate heat. The Dubai Municipality plans to install 10 million Dubai Lamps before the end of 2021.

‘It will be made the basic requirement for getting a building completion certificate. This will be beneficial for both sides. The owner of the building will be able to save a lot of money on energy charges and we will able to protect the environment,’ Hussain Nasser Lootah, director general of Dubai Municipality, told The National.

‘In the beginning, we will concentrate on new buildings and we will complete a study of old buildings to see what can be done.’

Lootah said the latest agreement which is in line with government directives, supported the Dubai Integrated Energy Strategy, which targets a 30 percent reduction in energy consumption by 2030, and the Dubai Carbon Abatement Strategy, which is aimed at reducing carbon emissions by 16 per cent by 2021.

The lamps will be available in four models, both in cool daylight and warm white colours. That includes 1W candle lamps to replace the 25W incandescent lamp, 2W bulbs to replace 40W incandescent lamps, 3W bulbs to replace 60W incandescent lamps, and the 3W MR16 Spot to replace 50W halogen spots.

Aren’t you getting tired of inefficient lighting from traditional halogen, CFL, and incandescent lamps? Although these lamps are cheap, they fail to give you the same amount of brightness as LEDs, and their operating lifetimes are very short. Generally you will see these lamps fail in as little as 1000hours, which means you will be up on ladders replacing them, and spending money on new lamps.. What’s more, halogen lamps produce a lot of heat and consume enormous amounts of electricity to produce light (up to 90% more than LEDs). Thus, you are left you with a huge energy bill as well.

Wouldn’t it be easier to just use quality LED lamps or bulbs instead? They are durable, lasting up to 50,000hours (many years of operation), and will not lose their brightness significantly even after using them for lengthy periods. With LED lamps, you will always get the brightest quality of light, which is far superior to any halogen. These lamps are available from several major brands in the lighting industry, the leader being Philips.

Novel Energy Lighting provides you with a wide range of Philips LED bulbs, tubes, lamps, candles, panels etc. One of the most notable Philips products is the Philips Master LED MR16 lamp. This quality product is well known for being an ideal retrofit for all spot and general lighting purposes, thus making it suitable for use in public areas as well as homes and offices. It is a most cost-effective substitute for traditional halogen lamps, and we say ‘cost-effective’ because it reduces your energy costs by 80%. In other words, this lamp pays for itself in less than a year. It even comes with an peace-of-mind 5 year warranty period.

Another fascinating feature of this particular Philips LED product, is the patented TransforMax technology, which allows the MR16 lamp to work on a majority of transformers and dimmers. And its Airflux technology facilitates passive cooling of this lamp, thus preventing it from getting overheated if used for prolonged periods. This lamp available in 7W=35W, 7W=40W, and 10W=50W dimmable versions, which means that it is a retrofit replacement to most standard halogen lamps and due to its efficient use of energy, its lasts for about 40,000 hours.

The additional benefit you get from using these LED products is that they do not emit any UV or IR rays, making them ideal for heat sensitive objects. And an added perk of using LED lights is that they are designed to reduce your maintenance costs without compromising on brightness.

At Novel Energy Lighting, you will find many Philips LED lamps in a variety of wattages, colour temperatures, and beam angles as a retrofit replacement for almost all traditional bulb types on the market. They come in both dimmable and non-dimmable variety, where the non-dimmable offer real value for money for those areas where dimming is not required much. But that’s not all, we supply many other carefully selected LED products  from several trusted manufacturers, available at very reasonable prices
