Voice of the
Lighting Industry
in Europe
2016 ANNUAL REPORTA paradigm shift is taking place in the lighting market, moving beyond energy efficiency
towards quality of light and Human Centric Lighting. This requires a change from “cost of
ownership” thinking towards “benefit of use” considerations. Hardware and products will
release their full benefits only with software help and system thinking.
With the implementation of LightingEurope’s Strategy Roadmap 2025, we are focussing
on the strategic growth drivers for the industry that will benefit the European users and the
environment: LEDification, Intelligent Lighting Systems, Human Centric Lighting and
Circular Economy.
LEDs enable very energy efficient solutions, while at the same time, the technology facilitates
an improvement in the quality of light. One role of LightingEurope is to assure that policy
makers do not only see the lighting industry as a key generator of energy savings but to secure
enough regulatory room for manoeuvre to allow lighting users to benefit fully from this new
technology, not purely from the energy efficiency aspect.
The introduction of LED technology is changing the lighting industry from “analogue” to
“digital” particularly on the controls and sensors side. As buildings become ‘smarter’ and
need to operate as connected ecosystems,lighting will become the backbone of an intelligent
building. The European lighting industry aims to grow the market by stimulating intelligence,
controls, sensors and dimming. We must ensure that the users of lighting installations benefit
from better lighting which is enabled by LEDs and Intelligent Lighting Systems.
Light can improve cognitive performance, energize, increase alertness or ease relaxation. It
can improve mood, as well as stabilize the sleep-wake cycle of people. Human Centric Lighting
enhances “Quality of Life” such as better health, well-being and performance of humans by
combining the visual, biological and emotional benefits of light. LightingEurope will cooperate
with relevant European DGs, agencies and other stakeholders to stimulate the implementation
of Human Centric Lighting.
The lighting industry has a great track record in prolonging the lifetime of products, in
collection and recycling and in the reduction of hazardous substances. Our ambition is to
further minimize our ecological footprint and to shape the Circular Economy policy area with
elements like refurbish, remanufacture, reuse and re-distribution.
The ambitions of LightingEurope are tangible for the coming years. I am very confident that
the new team and experts from our members will make them a reality.

From Strategy
to prudent and stringent
Implementation
The launch of the Strategic Roadmap 2025 in March 2016 gave the market
and EU institutions a clear indication about the focus topics of the European
lighting industry: Intelligent Lighting Systems, Circular Economy, Human
Centric Lighting and LEDification.
In various key-note speeches, for example at the LED professional Symposium
or LuxLive, I elaborated on the strategic outlook of LightingEurope.
In 2016, we also acted strongly in a range of regulatory developments, such as
achieved that the Lighting System Design Process has been included
the EU Commission with a practical regulation that can be surveyed and
will achieve energy saving objectives
current 3 regulations, and in which working group experts had a positive
influence
In 2016 LightingEurope secured ‘Human Centric Lighting’ as a defined
terminology with a common understanding. As work package leader for this
topic in the SSL-erate project, academic research was compiled, a new metrics
for lighting design developed and the success of related lighting installations
widely disseminated. The stakeholder network is now defined and we have built
the foundation to approach various EU institutions and place Human Centric
Lighting as a benefit for European citizens and growth driver for the lighting
industry. LightingEurope has shared its expertise with position papers on
flicker and stroboscopic effects or FAQ on alleged LED related health issues.
In this report, you see the new faces of the team that are eager to guide the
new organization in the implementation of the Strategic Roadmap in 2017.
I will leave LightingEurope at end of March and thank all the supporters and
followers of LightingEurope. I have appreciated the critical voices and enjoyed
the constructive dialogue we had. Hopefully, I will continue to meet many of
you at lighting events around the globe.
