The government banned the bad bulb

Lamptest.ru project arose primarily due to the fact that the stores can simultaneously meet the high quality LED lamps and frank trash to health hazards ripple, low color rendering index, leading to incorrect color and sensation uncomfortable lighting, deception on the packaging in the form of inflated values ​​indicate power, luminous flux and lamp equivalent incandescent.

Previously, the main parameters of the LED lamps can not normalized state, GOST P 54815-2011 lamp LED It was only two parameters - initial luminous flux measured, which should be at least 90% and nominal power consumption, which should not be more than 10% above the nominal.

November 10, 2017 the Russian government adopted Resolution № 1356 "On approval of requirements to lighting devices and electric bulbs used in AC circuits for lighting", Normalizing all options including LED lamps.


Item 12b "Performance requirements for non-directional LED lamps and directional light" reads as follows:

The overall color rendering index - at least 80.

ripple luminous flux for lamps with integrated control devices - no more than 10%.

Normalized power factor and also: "Power Factor Lamp lamp with integrated control devices for lamps with a nominal power less than 2 W - no requirements;
lamp with a rated capacity of not more than 5 W - more than 0.5;
lamp with a rated power less than 25 watts - more than 0.7;
lamp with a rated power greater than 25 watts - more than 0.9.

In the decision released two stages (the first stage with the July 1, 2018, the second from January 1, 2020) and many of the requirements are for the two stages.

Thus, in step 22 indicates that the ripple of the light flux from the LED lamp in the first stage should not exceed 10 percent, the second step is not more than 5 percent.

Paragraph 24 says that the general color rendering index LED luminaires for public the premises must be at least 80, the LED luminaires for industrial premises - not less than 70.

The main part of the decision devoted to energy efficiency and there is a lot of absurdities and figures taken is not clear where. The resolution even mentioned filament lamp, which provides standards for the efficiency values ​​of up to 45 W with that of lamps, more powerful 9W currently does not exist.


There are obvious mistakes, such as paragraph 23: "The decline of the luminous flux of the LED luminaires for time stabilization of luminous flux in step 1 is not more than 8 percent, in step 2 - not more than 6 percent. ". The fact that the reduction in luminous flux is a feature of the LEDs and no law will make LED suddenly reduce the flow is not 8, and 6%.

Resolution is valid for a year. The stores are far fewer lamps with a dangerous surge of light, but the lamp in full compliance with the decision to sell is almost there. First of all, due to the requirement of power factor> 0.7 Lamp 25 Watt. Almost all the lights available on the market, have a PF of about 0.5. To increase it to 0.7 is expensive and not efficient (it requires a significant driver of schema changes). Alas, the lamp with a low color rendering index of the sale have not disappeared, and such lamps are not less than a third of all sold.

It is known that in Russia the severity of laws is offset by their performance.
