New UltraEfficient lamps for roads, retail & hospitality

Eindhoven, the Netherlands – Signify (Euronext: LIGHT), the world leader in lighting, continues to lead the transition to energy efficient lighting, helping municipalities, communities and businesses reduce their energy consumption by replacing legacy conventional lamps with the new Philips  MASTER LED SON-T UltraEfficient (UE). Additionally, Signify is further extending its UltraEfficient LED range with the dimmable MASTER LEDbulbs UE and A-class MASTER LEDspots UE.

The new products meet the highest energy label, ‘A’, under the EU’s Ecodesign Regulation, and the Energy Labelling Regulation, which recently came into force. As A-class products, these new bulbs, spots, and lamps consume at least 43% less power to achieve the same output as standard alternative products².

Sustainability with a fast return on investment

The new Philips MASTER LED SON-T UE lamps are the first A-class LED SON-T lamps with a color temperature of 4,000K registered in Europe¹. The new lamps have a similar look, feel and light distribution to their conventional equivalents, and can be easily retrofitted into existing SON-T fittings. When upgrading from conventional HID lamps, a potential full return on investment can be achieved in 2.3 years³. Replacing 100 units of 100W conventional HID lamps with 42.8W A-class LED SON-T could save €7,046 per year³. The lamps are nondirectional and non-dimmable E27/E40 lamps, with a lumen range between 4,000 lm and 9,000 lm.

More reasons to upgrade

The new A-class MASTER LEDbulbs UE and A-class MASTER LEDspots UE GU10 consume at least 45% less energy, compared to standard LED alternatives, as well as lasting at least three times as long^2,4. Additionally, the A-class MASTER LEDbulbs UE are now dimmable, allowing for customizable lighting experiences.

³ This calculation compares the Philips MASTER LED SON-T UltraEfficient with the conventional Philips SON-T 100W E E40. The lights are assumed to be used for 4,100 hours annually. The average energy cost is 0.287 €/kWh, and it is calculated for the professional roads and streets application in Europe, valid in 2022, based on 47 European countries: Albania, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Moldova, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan. The data presented is an illustrative forecast based on a proprietary model developed by Signify to help customers understand the impact of lighting on the environment. Signify's "Green Switch conventional light point conversion model" uses input from numerous sources, references, and data points (available upon request) to generate a simulated view of a given market's energy consumption, but the accuracy of which cannot be verified.
