This issue of VoltiTECH (previously called ‘VoltiBULLETIN’) takes a look at the Energy-Related Products (ErP) Directive for tertiary (non-domestic) lighting. The new Directive follows on from the earlier Energy Using Products Directive (EUP), and it will have significant effects on the lighting sector from April 2010 onwards. This is because many older inefficient lamp types and associated gear will be gradually phased out, starting in April. The articles in this VoltiTECH discuss the issues and show how modern lighting can replace the old with great benefit.
