Energy Saving Lighting from Megaman Lighting Australia

1st November 2009 saw not only the phase out of incandescent light bulbs, but also the introduction of the Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) for covered and bare CFLi's. Compact Fluorescent lamps with integrated ballast. This currently excludes CFLi reflector lamps and dimmable CFLi's, which will be introduced at another time. Products sold in the Australian market now need to be registered on the government web site www.energyrating.gov.au

What does this mean? To be registered on this web site product needs to comply with a comprehensive test regime as outlined by AS/NZS 4847.1-2008 (part 2) This includes meeting requirements in the following areas: starting and run up time, luminous flux, efficacy and lumen maintenance, power factor and harmonics, premature lamp failure rate, starting in low temperatures, switching withstand, lamp life, colour attributes, mercury content and actual power used by the lamp

The reason behind this action is to ensure that consumers are buying the best available technology in CFLi's and their experience is not lessened by inferior quality and environmentally unsafe products. Imposition of fines for non-compliant product being sold is for appropriate state bodies to take up with offenders.

Megaman Lighting Australia has proudly met MEPS targets AS/NZS 4847.1-2008 (int) long before they became mandatory and continue to be on track to meet upcoming standards for reflector & dimmable CFL. With Australia's largest range of dimmable CFLi's, a comprehensive range of CFLi designs as well as premium LED lamps. Megaman continues to lead the way in effective Energy Efficient Lighting.
