The Schréder Green Light Label, as an environmental indicator for our customers


Schréder decided to introduce a « green light » label after careful consideration of the environmental impact of our luminaires. We have established objective criteria in four different areas: energy, light pollution, materials and production. Each product is evaluated in each of its configurations such as the type of lamp, power, protector etc. A Schréder product receives the green light label if it satisfies at least 8 criteria, 6 of which are compulsory. This label acts as en environmental indicator for our customers.


ENERGY
 
  Energy savings
A luminaire offering energy savings compared with most existing luminaires when used in the same type of application:

  • Public lighting: according to Schréder, when used in a standard configuration the luminaire has an energy efficiency ratio of:
  P  
EER =
≤ 0,8 W/m² / cd/m²
  S   L  

EER: Energy Efficiency Ratio
P: power of lamp + electrical control gear
S: surface to be lit
L: average level of continuous luminance required for the particular configuration


  • Urban lighting: luminaire installed at ≤ 5 metres in height designed to contribute to creating a night time ambiance: DLOR (Downward Light Output Ratio: the ratio of luminaire light output below the horizontal, compared with total lamp light output) ≥ 55%
 
  Single arc tube
Luminaire designed for use with a lamp with an arc
tube diameter of ≤ 20 mm, for optimal light control
 
  IP 66
Tightness level of optical compartment ≥ IP 66
 
  Lamp efficiency + Ballast
Luminaire designed for use with a lamp + control gear
set with output of:
  F  
 
≥ 70 lm/W
  P  

F: continuous luminous flux of lamp
P: power consumed by the lamp + control gear assembly

 
  Photometric adjustment
Possibility of carrying out on-site photometric
adjustments
 
  Electronics integration
A mechanical-thermal design to enable the
incorporation of electronic components
 
  Dimmer
Provided to enable the incorporation of light intensity
variation systems
 
  Remote management
Luminaire designed to incorporate a Schréder
approved remote management system
 
LIGHT POLLUTION
 
  Limited upward flux
  • Public lighting: ULOR (Upward Light Output Ratio: the ratio of light output above the luminaire, compared with the output at source) < 3%
  • Urban lighting that helps to create a certain ambiance when mounted at a height of ≤ 5 metres: ULOR < 10%
 
MATERIALS
 
  Mercury-free
Luminaire designed for use with mercury-free lamps
 
  Less mercury
Luminaire designed for use with lamps containing
< 15mg of mercury
 
  Use of sustainable or recyclable materials
Use of materials identified by Schréder as being highly recyclable (aluminium, etc.) or which last a long time (glass, etc.)
 
  Easily disassembled
Luminaire components can be easily disassembled at
end of life
 
  Low weight
Low weight of the luminaire (including lamp and
control gear) depending on the nominal luminous flux
of the lamp:
  • ≤ 7000 lm: ≤ 3.5kg
  • ≤ 18000 lm: ≤ 7.5kg
  • ≤ 57000 lm: ≤ 12kg
 
PRODUCTION
 
  ISO 14001
Assembled in an ISO 14001-certified factory
 
  Manufactured locally
80% of luminaire assembly is carried out in the
country or region where it is sold
 
    Compulsory
