Textual Amendments
F1 Deleted by Commission Regulation (EU) No 347/2010 of 21 April 2010 amending Commission Regulation (EC) No 245/2009 as regards the ecodesign requirements for fluorescent lamps without integrated ballast, for high intensity discharge lamps, and for ballasts and luminaires able to operate such lamps (Text with EEA relevance).
(a)
‘Luminous efficacy of a source’, ‘light source efficacy’ or ‘lamp efficacy’ (ηsource), which means the quotient of the luminous flux emitted (Ф) by the power consumed by the source (Psource). ηsource = Ф / Psource. Unit: lm/W. The power dissipated by auxiliary equipment such as ballasts is not included in the power consumed by the source.
(b)
‘Lamp Lumen Maintenance Factor’ (LLMF), which means the ratio of the luminous flux emitted by the lamp at a given time in its life to the initial luminous flux.
(c)
‘Lamp Survival Factor’ (LSF), which means the fraction of the total number of lamps which continue to operate at a given time under defined conditions and switching frequency.
[F2For the purposes of Table 6 in Annex III, the LSF shall be measured in high frequency operating mode with a switching cycle of 11h/1h.]
(d)
‘Ballast efficiency’ (ηballast), which means the ratio between the lamp power (ballast output) and the input power of the lamp-ballast circuit with possible sensors, network connections and other auxiliary loads disconnected.
(e)
‘Chromaticity’, which means the property of a colour stimulus defined by its chromaticity coordinates, or by its dominant or complementary wavelength and purity taken together.
(f)
‘Luminous flux’, which means a quantity derived from radiant flux (radiant power) by evaluating the radiation according to the spectral sensitivity of the human eye.
(g)
‘Correlated Colour Temperature’ (Tc [K]), which means temperature of a Planckian (black body) radiator whose perceived colour most closely resembles that of a given stimulus at the same brightness and under specified viewing conditions.
(h)
‘Colour rendering’ (Ra), which means the effect of an illuminant on the colour appearance of objects by conscious or subconscious comparison with their colour appearance under a reference illuminant.
(i)
‘Specific effective radiant UV power’, which means the effective power of the UV radiation of a lamp related to its luminous flux (unit: mW/klm).
(j)
‘Ingress protection grading’, which means a coding system to indicate the degree of protection provided by an enclosure against ingress of dust, solid objects and moisture and to give additional information in connection with such protection.
Textual Amendments
F2 Inserted by Commission Regulation (EU) No 347/2010 of 21 April 2010 amending Commission Regulation (EC) No 245/2009 as regards the ecodesign requirements for fluorescent lamps without integrated ballast, for high intensity discharge lamps, and for ballasts and luminaires able to operate such lamps (Text with EEA relevance).

Timeline of Changes
This timeline shows the different versions taken from EUR-Lex before exit day and during the implementation period as well as any subsequent versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation.
The dates for the EU versions are taken from the document dates on EUR-Lex and may not always coincide with when the changes came into force for the document.
For any versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation the date will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force. For further information see our guide to revised legislation on Understanding Legislation.
