Consumer Advisory |
Consumers must only purchase NEA-registered appliances found within NEA's Database of Registered Goods. We need the public's support to report any regulated goods that do not have Energy Label or are not registered to NEA_energylabel@nea.gov.sg.
Consumers are strongly encouraged to look out for Energy Labels, which help consumers identify more energy efficient appliances, when purchasing household-air-conditioners, refrigerators, clothes dryers, televisions, or lamps, in any local physical shops or from online shopping platforms. |

ɸ is the rated luminous flux in Lumen. Plamp is the rated lamp power in Watt.
For covered CFLi, Plamp = Pcovered CFLi x 0.95
