SLR / ELR Overview Single Lighting and Energy Labelling Regulations

The Single Lighting Regulation (SLR) is coming into effect on the 1st September 2021, across Europe and including the UK. The Energy Labelling Regulation (ELR) is also coming into effect at the same time, which means that, amongst other things, the label is being rescalled from A** - E to A - G. What was an A++ class will end up being an E class! The SLR regulations are aimed at improving product performance across the lighting industry, including all types of lighting technology. Energy efficiency requirements will mean that Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) and T8 fluorescent lamps will be banned in 2021 and 2023 respectively. LED lighting technology will be a main option to ensuring compliance with these requirements. In addition to the product performance requirements, the regulations also encourage elements of the circular economy concept. Light sources and control gears must be produced so that they can be easily removed and replaced with commonly available tools, unless there is a technical justification why this cannot happen (e.g. IP rating). Collingwood ground lights, for example, would be an example of a product that meets the technical justification. The IP rating required for these fittings mean that they are sealed for life and that replacement of the light source would not be acceptable to maintain product performance. We have been able to design our product to ensure conformance with these regulations, whilst not compromising on performance, lifetime or warranty. Collingwood will be showing information about the replaceability of each product on the relevant website page, including easy-to- understand pictograms. Please contact us should you have any questions regarding a specific product.
