  1. Presentation toElectrical Leaders Forum 21 May 2009 Bryan DouglasChief Executive OfficerLighting Council Australia

  2. Presentation • A few words about Lighting Council • Relentless drive for energy efficiency • Phase-out of inefficient lamps • Greenlight Australia • LEDs and proposed SSL Quality Scheme • Other topical issues • Waste, mercury • Education

  3. A few words about Lighting Council… • Peak body for Australia’s lighting industry • 60 member companies- luminaire manufacturers/suppliers- lamp suppliers- control gear manufacturers/suppliers- retailers • Formed in 2001 (part of AEEMA) • Incorporated as separate industry association November 2007 • Recently instituted a Code of Conduct binding on all members • - emphasis on supply of energy efficient, safe product that conforms to Australia’s regulatory requirements

  4. Equipment and building energy efficiency firmly on Government’s agenda • Draft National Strategy for Energy Efficiency: • “This Strategy encompasses early action in the commercial and residential sectors to significantly improve the energy efficiency of new buildings from 2010 and also to phase-in mandatory disclosure commencing in 2010. This early action will be followed by major reforms to the building standard setting and rating system in 2011…” • “Phase-out inefficient lighting products in the Australian market, commencing with incandescent globes”

  5. Lamp phase-out in Australia • Government on track to ban inefficient incandescent lamps • Ban on importation 1 February 2009 • Ban on sale November 2009

  6. Scope of phase-out • Phase-out of inefficient lighting will apply to most lamp types: • Tungsten filament incandescent lamps (including GLS) • Tungsten halogen – low voltage and mains voltage • Reflector & non-reflector • Candle lamps, fancy round lamps and other decorative lamps

  7. Phase 1 – Government’s expectations • Conventional GLS lamps effectively eliminated from Australian marketplace • Lower efficiency low voltage halogen lamps to be removed from market place • High quality CFLs dominate • Some halogen lamps remain

  8. Greenlight Australia 2010-2020 • Lighting Council preparing new draft • Seeking ambitious target of 25% savings in first five years, 20% in second five years • Proposing new measures in following areas/technologies: • Lighting design • Lighting controls • Lamps • Ballasts • New rating tools to assist lighting designers, installers, consumers • SSL Quality Scheme

  9. Proposed luminaire labelling scheme (Indicative)

  10. LEDs • Will have significant impact on area lighting in next 2-5 years • Great promise of efficiency and longevity • Already substitutes on market for MR16s and linear fluorescent luminaires • Ongoing issues - high cost, technical problems • Many extravagant claims about LED performance – threaten to undermine consumer confidence and impede uptake • International standards being developed but remain immature

  11. SSL Quality Scheme • Lighting Council planning industry-led, voluntary scheme backed by government • Intended to provide confidence to the market that a luminaire carrying the Scheme’s label matches performance claims made by supplier: • Luminaire efficacy • Light output • Measured input power • Correlated colour temperature • Colour rendering index • Rated life

  12. Waste issues • Will impact on electrical industry • Spate of announcements in recent months – SA, Victoria, Commonwealth • SA announcement of concern- ban on all electrical product in landfill in 3 years • - no consultation with industry on need for ban

  13. Other issues for lighting industry • Mercury • Significant media attention – fuelled by - phase-out programs internationally • Concerns centre on: • broken CFLs in homes • lamps entering landfill • poisoning of Chinese miners and factory workers • Anticipate Australian Government announcement this week on mercury-containing lamps
