Government proposals to improve lighting efficiency

The Government has set out proposals to ensure that lighting in domestic and non-domestic buildings in England, Scotland and Wales meets minimum energy performance standards.

The intention is for households and businesses to cut their energy use and save money by having more energy-efficient lighting.

Under the new proposals, only the most energy-efficient light bulbs will be available in shops.

It is estimated that replacing a household’s halogen bulbs with LEDs can save around £2,000 to £3,000 over the lifetime of the bulbs, depending on the size of the home.

If the proposals are adopted, they would come into force later this year.

Stew Horne, head of policy at Energy Saving Trust said: "Energy Saving Trust welcomes the government’s proposals to improve lighting performance standards, which would directly benefit households and businesses by saving energy and reducing bills. We look forward to helping shape these standards as part of the transition to decarbonisation."
