Buil-in LED replacement<\/strong>: these are three words that are increasingly stirring the lighting sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is very common, in fact, that customers ask if it is possible to replace the LED<\/strong> incorporated in the structure of lamps and ceiling lights, as it was possible with traditional light bulbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer that was mostly negative until yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, reality is finally changing: it is possible to satisfy the customer’s wishes and, at the same time, fulfill human responsibility towards the environment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light, a mirror of the changing world<\/h2>\n\n\n

Starting with the incandescent light bulb by Edison and Swan, over the years lighting has been the protagonist of great metamorphoses, both in relation to the incessant pressure of new technologies, and to meet specific needs of society: to improve the diffusion of light by reducing energy consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer to these needs were first the fluorescent bulbs and then the LEDs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light output and energy consumption of LEDs<\/strong> marked a real turning point, giving us a luminous efficiency that reaches 200 lm\/W (Lumen Watt) compared to 60 lm\/W for fluorescent lamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New requirements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Light has always to face new challenges: innovation <\/strong>is the keyword that has always accompanied this sector, today more than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investments in research and development are growing, in particular macro-themes are the protagonists such as digitization, the search for wellness and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

REGULATIONS FOR THE FUTURE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The European Ecodesign Directive 2019\/2020<\/a> pushes the lighting sector to further redevelopment<\/strong>, regulating the sector in terms of environmentally friendly design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The basic purpose of the regulations requires that the products are durable<\/strong>, thus guaranteeing the reparability and replacement of the light sources<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The requirement of \u00ab\u00a0removability<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb has a great relevance, because it is the starting point for the replacement of the malfunctioning parts and for the repair of the lamp.
Furthermore, the \u201creplaceability<\/strong>\u201d is an opportunity for future implementations with more up-to-date components.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The crucial point of the Regulation was well summarized in the words of the President of the National Lighting Manufacturers Association, Aldo Bigatti<\/a>: \u201c[…] with the legislative evolution, companies are called to ever greater environmental sustainability and interoperability. The transition from a linear economy to a circular economy requires the development of a production and consumption system that decouples economic growth from the intensive use of resources and environmental impacts, creating more value, decreasing costs and minimizing the impact on the environment. It becomes essential for companies to develop more efficient production systems and apply eco-innovation<\/strong> and eco-design<\/strong> strategies. These are the challenges that companies in our sector are facing by keeping up with the evolution of the sector.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light in the circular economy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new model of production and consumption that the European Parliament aspires to create contrasts with the linear one of the past which followed the pattern \u00ab\u00a0extract, produce, consume, throw away\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new model requires a strong commitment to extending the life cycle of products<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
