ABSTRACT
The use of CFLs in Swedish households is very small compared to other European countries. The ratio of screw-based CFLs per household is 0.3 CFLs 1), compared to e.g. 2.0 per Danish household or 2.3 CFLs per Dutch household. The ratio of pin-based CFL per Swedish household is well below 0.12).
The Swedish National Board for Industrial and Technical Development, Department of Energy Efficiency (NUTEK/DOEE), and Ljuskultur, the Swedish National Lighting Trade Organisation, are jointly carrying out a market transformation programme on energy-efficient residential lighting. The aim is to decrease the residential energy consumption by increasing the use of energy-efficient lighting in the residential sector to 3 CFLs by the year 2000 and 5 CFLs by 2005. This would correspond to an annual saving of approximately 400 GWh per year (3 CFLs per household) respectively 700 GWh per year (5 CFLs per household).
The programme is divided into two separate parts, a market transformation (technology procurement) competition on energy-efficient residential luminaires, and a national promotional campaign for screw-based CFLs.
The luminaire market transformation competition contains three classes, each divided into six sub-groups. These sub-groups represent the luminaires with the longest individual burning hours in the residential sector. The competition is carried out sequentially from November 1996 to February 1998. Due to lack of aggregated purchasers' representatives or organisations in the residential lighting sector, it has not been possible to form a purchaser group of the ?traditional technology procurement kind? in the luminaire competition. The purchasers' interest is instead assumed to be taken care of by the elected jury.
The national promotional campaign for screw-based CFLs is planned to be carried out during three years, beginning in the winter of 1997/98. The campaign is planned to contain both nation wide media parts and local events.
