EU 2021 Energy label classification

These energy labels are in force since Sept 2021. They have been drawn up in accordance with the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2015.

It applies to light sources, with requirements for the x, y chromaticity coordinates (is fulfilled), the luminous flux (is fulfilled) and colour rendering index CRI (is fulfilled).These requirements are fulfilled.

The energy efficiency class of light sources shall be determined on the basis of the total mains efficacy eta_TM. This is calculated by dividing the declared useful luminous flux (1123 lm, flux in a narrow cone (90°)) by the declared on-mode power consumption P_on (19.6 W) and multiplying by the applicable factor F_TM that depends on the light source type (1.176, type: Directional (DLS) operating on mains (MLS)). The result is the total mains efficacy eta_TM = 67 (lm/W).

EU 2013 Energy label classification

Since Sept 2013 these labels will be needed.

Important for the energy classification are the corrected rated power and the useful luminous flux.
The measured rated power is 19.6 W and might need to be corrected. The correction is dependent from the lamp type and whether or not the lamp control gear is included or not. The choice for this lamp is the following classification: Lamps with own control gear (external or internal). As a result the corrected rated power becomes: 19.6 W.
The luminous flux measured is 1210 lm. The classification of this lamp needed to determine the useful flux is: Other directional lamps. Then the useful flux becomes 1123 lm. Now a reference power can be calculated.

The energy efficiency coefficient is P_corr / P_ref = 0.23.

Eulumdat light diagram

This light diagram below comes from the program Qlumedit, that extracts these diagrams from an Eulumdat file.

The light diagram giving the radiation pattern.

The light diagram indicates the beam in the C0-C180 plane and in the plane perpendicular to that, the C90-C270 plane. These beams are equal as the lamp has symmetry over its first axis (the vertical axis).

When using the Ev or Iv values per inclination angle, the beam angle can be computed, being 63 deg for the C0-C180 plane and 63 deg for the C90-C270 plane.

Intensity data of every measured turn angle at each inclination angle.

This plot shows per inclination angle the intensity measurement results for each turn angle at that inclination angle. There normally are differences in illuminance values for different turn angles. However for further calculations the averaged values will be used.

Luminous flux

With the averaged illuminance data at 1 m distance, taken from the graph showing the averaged radiation pattern, it is possible to compute the luminous flux.

The result of this computation for this light spot is a luminous flux of 1210 lm.

Luminous efficacy

The luminous flux being 1210 lm, and the consumed power of the lamp being 19.6 Watt, results in a luminous efficacy of 62 lm/Watt.

Inrush current

The inrush current has been measured for different voltage start angles; from 0 – 170 degrees with a 10 degrees step. The current- and voltage values have been acquires at a sample speed of 39.9 kS/s. Then this data has been fed into a second order 2kHz low pass Butterworth filter. This removes the current spikes that do not represent relevant values.
The lamp was two minutes off before every inrush current measurement was made.

Color temperature and Spectral power distribution

The spectral power distribution of this light bulb, energies on y-axis valid at 1 m distance.

The measured color temperature is 2692 K which is warm white.

This color temperature is measured straight underneath the light bulb. Below a graph showing the color temperature for different inclination angles.

Color temperature as a function of inclination angle.

The color temperature is given for inclination angles up to 45 deg. Beyond that value the illuminance is lower than 10%% of Ev straight underneath the lamp, that it has not been used for color determination of the light.

For the C0-C180 plane: the beam angle of 63 deg is equivalent to 31.4 deg inclination angle,which is the area where most of the light falls within. The maximum variation of color temperature in this inclination area is about 1 %.

For the C90-C270 plane: the beam angle of 63 deg is equivalent to 31.4 deg inclination angle,which is the area where most of the light falls within. The maximum variation of color temperature in this inclination area is about 1 %.

Chromaticity diagram

The chromaticity space and the position of the lamp’s color coordinates in it.

The point of the light in this diagram is inside the area indicated with class B. The areas A and B indicate areas for signal lamps.

The color coordinates are x=0.4602 and y=0.4101.

Color Rendering Index (CRI) or also Ra

Herewith the image showing the CRI as well as how well different colors are represented (rendered). The higher the number, the better the resemblance with the color when a black body radiator would have been used (the sun, or an incandescent lamp)

Each color has an index Rx, and the first 8 indexes (R1 .. R8) are averaged to compute the Ra which is equivalent to the CRI.

CRI of the light of this lightbulb.

This value of 97 indicates how well the light of this lamp can render well a set of reference colors, this in comparison with the light of a reference source (for color temperatures 5000K a black radiator is used as reference and for color temperatures 5000K the sun or the light outside during the day).

The value of 97 is much bigger than the value of 80 that is considered as a minimum for working areas in general.

Note: the chromaticity difference is -0.0002 and indicates the distance to the Planckian Locus. There is a value mentioned of max 5.4E-3 in section 5.3 of CIE 13.3-1995 however no further explanation of it.
An other reference with signal lights as a reference is given in the chromaticity diagram.

Color quality scale TM-30-15

TM-30-15 is an improved indicator (over CRI) of how well colors are rendered.

Voltage dependency

The dependency of a number of lamp parameters on the lamp voltage is determined. For this, the lamp voltage has been varied and its effect on the following light bulb parameters measured: illuminance E_v [lx], the lamppower P [W] and the luminous efficacy [lm/W] (this latter is estimated here by dividing the found E_v value by P).

Lamp voltage dependencies of certain light bulb parameters

There is no (significant) dependency of the illuminance when the power voltage varies between 200 – 250 V .
There is no (significant) dependency of the consumed power when the power voltage varies between 200 – 250 V .

When the voltage varies abruptly with + or – 5 V then this results in a variation of the illuminance of maximally 0.2 %. This difference in illuminance is not visible (when it occurs abruptly).

Warm up effects

After switch on of a cold lamp, the effect of heating up of the lamp is measured on illuminance E_v [lx], the lamppower P [W] and the luminous efficacy [lm/W].

Effect of warming up on different light bulb parameters. In the first graph the 100 % level is put at begin, and in the last graph the 100 % level is put at the end.

During the warmup time the illuminance doesn’t vary significantly ( 5 %).

During the warmup time the power doesn’t vary significantly ( 5 %).
The variation in efficacy (calculated as indication by simply dividing the illuminance by the power) during the warming up is -2 %. A very high negative value indicates a significant decrease for instance due to heating up of the lamp (decrease of lifetime).

Circadian Stimulus (CS)

The circadian stimulus indicates the degree of influence that the light of this lamp has on the human circadian rhythm. In addition to the melanopic effect of Ganglion cells, the contributions of S-cones and rods are also included. A CS value of 0.1 has hardly any effect and a value > 0.3 has an effect (0.7 is the maximum, saturated, value). The CS value depends on the spectrum of the light and also on the amount of it (received on the eye).
