Without taking specific measures, the consumption is predicted to increase to 135 TWh in 2020. The preparatory studies showed that electricity consumption of products subject to this Regulation can be significantly reduced.

| (9) | Mercury emitted in the different life cycle phases of the lamps, including from use-phase electricity generation and from the 80 % of compact fluorescent lamps containing mercury which are presumed not to be recycled at the end of life, has been estimated to be 2,9 tonnes in 2007 from the installed stock of lamps. Without taking specific measures, the mercury emissions of the installed lamp stock is predicted to increase to 3,1 tonnes in 2020 while it has been demonstrated that it can be significantly reduced.
  Although the mercury content of compact fluorescent lamps is considered to be a significant environmental aspect, it is appropriate to regulate it under Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (2).
  The setting of energy efficiency requirements for lamps subject to this Regulation will lead to a decrease of the overall mercury emissions. |

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)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Directive 2005/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 July 2005 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-using products and amending Council Directive 92/42/EEC and Directives 96/57/EC and 2000/55/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), and in particular Article 15(1) thereof,

After consulting the Ecodesign Consultation Forum,

Whereas:

| (1) | Under Directive 2005/32/EC ecodesign requirements shall be set by the Commission for energy using products representing significant volumes of sales and trades, having significant environmental impact and presenting significant potential for improvement in terms of their environmental impact without entailing excessive costs. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Under Directive 2005/32/EC ecodesign requirements shall be set by the Commission for energy using products representing significant volumes of sales and trades, having significant environmental impact and presenting significant potential for improvement in terms of their environmental impact without entailing excessive costs.

| (2) | Article 16(2) second indent of Directive 2005/32/EC provides that in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 19(3) and the criteria set out in Article 15(2), and after consulting the Ecodesign Consultation Forum, the Commission shall as appropriate introduce an implementing measure on tertiary sector lighting products. |

The studies have been developed together with stakeholders and interested parties from the Community and third countries, and the results have been made publicly available on the EUROPA website of the European Commission.

| (4) | Mandatory ecodesign requirements apply to products placed on the market wherever they are installed, therefore such requirements cannot be made dependent on the application in which the product is used (such as office lighting or public street lighting). Therefore this Regulation should address specific products, such as fluorescent lamps without integrated ballast, high intensity discharge lamps, and ballasts and luminaires able to operate such lamps. Indicative benchmarks can be helpful in guiding users on the best available technology for specific applications (such as office or public street lighting). |

Table 17 contains the EEI classes for ballasts which are designed to operate the lamps mentioned in the table or other lamps which are designed to be operated by the same ballasts as the lamps mentioned in the table (meaning that the data of the reference ballast is equal).

In areas where light pollution is of concern, the maximum proportion of the light going above the horizon is not more than 1 % for all road classes and lumen outputs.

Luminaires are designed so that they avoid emitting obtrusive light to the maximum extent. However, any improvement of the luminaire aiming at reducing the emission of obtrusive light is not to the detriment of the overall energy efficiency of the installation for which it is designed.

If they are luminaires for fluorescent or high-intensity discharge lamps, they are compatible with at least one lamp type complying with the benchmarks of Annex V.

Luminaires are compatible with installations equipped with appropriate dimming and control systems that take account of daylight availability, traffic and weather conditions, and also compensate for the variation over time in surface reflection and for the initial dimensioning of the installation due to the lamp lumen maintenance factor.
