Worldwide comparison of 110 LED testing laboratories: Results Presented
Today, the governments of ten countries announced the publication of the world’s largest interlaboratory comparison on solid state lighting (SSL). This project compares the ability of 110 laboratories worldwide to test Light Emitting Diode (LED) lamps and luminaires. The outcome of this large-scale interlaboratory comparison will help governments and manufacturers around the world ensure that new LED products sold to consumers and companies are of high quality and meet the claimed performance.

Wide Bandgap Industrial Variable Speed Drives
According to an analysis by PECTA, when switching from silicon-based to Wide Band Gap (WBG) technologies, low-voltage industrial Variable Speed Drives represent the largest current saving potential globally among different applications. EMSA in collaboration with PECTA
What have we learned in the past decade?
Learnings from EDNA’s first 10 years Since 2014 EDNA has helped its 14 member countries to better understand digital technologies. Our extensive research into how policies can both encourage ‘energy smart digital devices’, and minimise the additional
What have we learned in the past decade?
Demand Flexible Networked Appliances Demand-flexible appliances are electrical devices designed to adjust their operation in response to external signals such as electricity prices, grid conditions, or system operator instructions. Examples include heat pumps, electric vehicle chargers,
What have we learned in the past 15 years and how has EMSA contributed to that?
Electric motor systems are responsible for 53% of worldwide electricity use. In the industrial sector their share is more than 72%. Significant savings are possible and can be benefited from. According to the International Energy Agency,

The Role of LED Lighting in Climate
In the January/February 2026 issue of LED Professional Magazine, Dr. J. Norman Bardsley, Chief Analyst for the International Solid-State Lighting Alliance (ISA) in Beijing, China, published an article that looks at the global lighting market and the opportunity for energy savings.
The next wave of LED lighting: Smarter, circular and more efficient
Today, the International Energy Agency (IEA) published a commentary on the lighting sector. Offering a global perspective, the IEA provides insights into trends in lighting consumption in buildings and street lighting, and discusses the major efficiency gains over the past two decades thanks to the rapid uptake of the light-emitting diode (LED) technology.
The IEA 4E SSL Annex issues new report promoting CIE’s new global test standard
The IEA 4E Solid State Lighting Annex today published a new report promoting CIE’s new global test standard. The report, entitled “Application Study of CIE S 025/E:2015”, evaluates the new international standard for use by key stakeholders as the basis for measuring important quality and performance aspects of LED lighting products. The SSL Annex has concluded that the new CIE standard is suitable for its upcoming global interlaboratory comparison of goniophotometers.
