Light sources

A light source with or without a controlling device. Example: A traditional retro fit bulb.

A containing product that you cannot disassemble for control measurement of the light source without the risk of damaging the light source. Examples are lamps with integrated LED where the LED module is not easily accessible, such as Oja, Oakland and Clarkson. The entire lamp is considered as and must meet the requirements of a type 1 light source.

Containing products

A containing product where the light source can be taken out and replaced using regular tools. An example is a lamp with an included retro fit bulb, such as Recess with GU10 and Works with G13. The included bulb is considered as and must meet the requirements of a type 1 light source.

A containing product where the light source cannot be replaced, but it can be taken out for control measurement. Typically, these products are lamps with integrated LED where the light source can be taken out without the risk of damaging it, e.g., removing the shade. Examples are products such as Canto and Grip where the light source is easily accessible, but also products such as Artist where you might risk breaking the shade, but the light source remains undamaged. The integrated light source is considered as and must meet the requirements of a type 1 light source.

Other products not part of the new regulations

Luminaires sold without a bulb. Example: A traditional retro fit luminaire sold without a bulb.
