CLASP – Who we are and Mission
Who we are:
USA non-profit established 1999
Worked in over 50 countries / economies
40+ people around the globe
Dedicated programmes in Africa, India and Europe (since 2009)
Mission:
“CLASP improves the energy and environmental performance of the appliances & equipment we use every day, accelerating our transition to a more sustainable world.”

Overview of European Lighting Regulations

3. Lighting Electricity Use Globally
Lighting consumed 15 % of the total electricity consumption in 2015 or 2940 TWh
Electricity to run the lights contributed 1.6 Gt of CO2 emissions
> 1,0 billion people lack electrical lighting – future demand
A disruptive technology (LED) has entered the market – changes are coming

4. Electricity enables us to do things….
Cold beer
Cool air
Bright lights
Great movies
Clean clothes
Quality of life is really about services, not electricity
Energy-efficiency enables you to enjoy the same services while using less electricity – any policy-makers hold the key

5. Efficiency is a “Negawatt” Power Station
Freeing-up existing capacity is the same as building new capacity
“Negawatts” of free capacity are cheaper and faster than building new capacity, and have zero running costs
Traditional Power Station – “Megawatts”
Virtual Power Station – “Negawatts”

6. Benefits of market transformation to more efficient products
Household savings - reduce household energy bills (but still enjoy the same services!);
Grid reliability – reduce electricity shortages (brown-outs / black-outs); reduces peak power demand
Save national investment – reduce capital and loans tied up in power stations and grid upgrades; slows new demand growth
Market protection - avoid becoming dumping- ground for technologies banned elsewhere
Energy imports – reduce capital out-flow for fuel purchases / electricity imports; strengthen national energy security
Climate change – develop on a ‘soft energy path’, avoid becoming a high CO2 emission country

7. Lighting in all end-use sectors is shifting to LED
Residential - household lighting, indoor & outdoor
Commercial – hallway, offices, meeting rooms, architectural, retail / shop, parking, area…
Industrial – high-bay, process
Municipal / Outdoor – street lighting, walkway, sports stadium…

8. Global trend in policy-making to phase-out inefficient lighting
European phased out mains-voltage halogen spot lights in September 2016 and non-directional halogen lamps in September 2018
UN Environment working with >10 countries on phase-out

9. Start with Non-Directional Household Lamps
High energy user, primarily a domestic sector product
Good efficiency range (“efficacy” = lumens light per Watt power)
Define in a technology-neutral way, to cover all these technologies – as in Europe, 244/2009
Use different ‘tiers’ to advance the market when you are ready
When regulating, consider quality requirements – light quality and colour, lifetime, flicker, power quality, etc.
