Energy efficiency certification for incandescent lamps allows their performance and electricity consumption to be classified, although their use has been progressively restricted due to their low efficiency. This certification is relevant because:
- Informs consumers about the high energy consumption of this type of lamp compared to more efficient technologies.
- Serves as a transition tool toward options such as LED or compact fluorescent lamps, promoting energy savings.
- Forms part of regulatory measures that discourage their commercialization, except for specific authorized cases.
- Reinforces the country’s commitment to energy efficiency and reducing unnecessary electricity consumption.
- Enables greater market transparency during the technological replacement process.
- Provides reliable technical data to assess the impact of their use on residential or commercial consumption.
