L A M P S
The higher the lumens,
the brighter the lamp. The
equivalent wattage is a
comparison, for reference
only, to a traditional
incandescent lamp.
A grading of how efficient the
lamp is at converting energy.
The Revised Energy Rating
scale is explained above.
Ranging from 2200k (kelvin) to
5000k, the colour temperature
shows how cool (blue) or
warm (red/orange) the light
from a lamp is. Cooler colours
are crisper; warmer colours are
more relaxing. 2700k is most
similar in colour tone to the
traditional incandescent lamp.
Lamps with this symbol are
dimmable; for wall and ceiling
lights you must use an
LED-compatible dimmer, such
as a Varilight V-Pro.

Revised Energy Rating - the same performance, a different grading scale
For clearer understanding of relative energy performance and
to encourage increased performance and efficiency, a new
scale has been introduced by the UK government. The existing
ERP energy rating for lamps (light bulbs) is graded from the
most energy efficient (A++) down to least (E). The new scale is
graded from A down to G. Old A+ products now equate to the
lowest G band, and the previous top grade A++ now equate to
anything from D through to F.
Despite the apparent lower rating for our current lamps,
their performance and efficiency is unchanged. Meanwhile, we
are rising to the challenge of developing even more efficient
lamps that will achieve the highest grades on the new, more
demanding scale.
Please note that existing stock with the older label can be sold
until April 2023. This means that both styles of label will be in
the market until then.
