The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) has issued important notifications or all Manufacturers and Permittees of Self-Ballasted LED Lamps.  The key updates under the BEE Standards & Labelling (S&L) Program are outlined below: 

The existing LED lamp Star Rating Table has been upgraded by 1 Star level, with a validity period of 2 years, i.e., from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2028.

Note: LED lamps that are 1 star as per the old star rating table will be obsolete.

  • All existing star-labelled LED lamp models under the current standards will expire on 31 December 2026.
