Ir. M. van OoyenStatus of Lighting Efficiency Standards and Guidelines in Europe Philips Lighting B.V., Eindhoven, The Netherlands Ir. J. Vermeulen Philips Lighting B.V., Eindhoven, The Netherlands Abstract Before discussing the actual status of lighting-efficiency standards, they are set in the right context. A distinction exists between the U.S.A. and Europe as far as these standards are concerned. In Europe none of these standards exist. This might be explained from the difference in approach to lighting in these two regions. Setting a lighting efficiency standard alone does not mean that the optimal lighting-efficiency will be obtained. it will be shown, that lighting recommendations designed to obtain adequate seeing conditions and adapted to the local demands enable intelligent use of energy.
