Education Required To Aid New Labelling System For Light Bulbs
In light of the recent news that Europe are introducing a new light bulb labelling system, to change the strength from Watts to Lumens, many industry professionals are warning that this could lead to consumer confusion. Now BLT the online providers of energy saving lightbulbs, low energy light bulbs and light fittings, are highlighting what this change means for the UK population.
Named after the Scottish inventor James Watt, light bulbs have been measured in Watts since the 18th Century, but new ruling could see energy saving light bulbs being labelled in Lumens, after experts claim that the amount of light given off does not accurately reflect the level of energy required.
A spokesperson from the firm who specialise in providing a wide range of light bulbs for various uses, said, “This change is both positive and negative. It is great that energy saving bulbs are being re classification to provide more accurate information, but it is true that many consumers will be confused by this change.
“This confusion could however be reduced, if providers of the newly classified bulbs educate the public on their websites and in store, this would go a long way towards them being accepted more widely.”
The new legislation also states that retailers will be forced to label light bulbs in Lumens from September 2010. Some bulbs already feature the new measurements in small print but as of September, this will be larger than the Wattage measurements.

As the first signs of summer emerge, there is nothing more favourable than spending time outside in the garden, eating al fresco and socialising over a bottle of wine.

I only have a small garden space and I would like to steer away from using floor space to house some garden lights- is there are alternative?
Yes there certainly is, I would suggest investing in a wall mounted garden light. There are so many light fittings on the market that it can be difficult knowing which one to choose, but for the avid gardener who likes dual purpose lights, our Patio Infra Red Heater kills two birds with one stone. Allowing the user to heat their patio areas and light it up at the same time- this fitting is ideal for those summer barbecues when the temperature starts to drop in an evening.
I am keen to find a lighting solution ideal for my dark driveway, but the only driveway lights that I have found in many of the leading DIY stores have been really expensive, do you have any suggestions?
Yes. Our Wooden Bollard IP65 Rated Lights are ideal for this purpose, and offer a stylish take on the traditional driveway lights. The BOL-LED-1 lights feature quality Iroko wood that requires no treatment or varnishing and they contain a high power Luxeon LED. These lights make sure that because of their cut, they look stunning when approached from any angle and not only are they tasteful they are extremely cost effective.
I have had driveway lights installed in the past and lets’ just say, by daughters driving has almost knocked all of them down! Is there a hardier solution to the traditional wooden driveway lights?
There certainly is, it is possible to purchase driveway lights in a metal finishes, which should stand both the test of time and your daughters driving!
