MEPS for LED Lighting
1. Scope
1.1. General
This Pakistan Standard specifies the Minimum Energy Performance Standard (MEPS)
and Labelling requirements for LED lights that can be connected to main power. Such
LED Lights that are normally used in households & buildings for general lighting
purposes and street lighting are included within the scope. This standard applies to the
following products:
a) LED Bulbs
b) LED Tubular Lights
c) LED Downlights
d) LED Street lights
Efficacy:
Efficacy (lm/W) is the amount of light emitted measured in lumens (lm) by a lamp for
each watt (W) of power consumed.

3. Performance Criteria:
The performance of the applicable LED lights shall be gauged under the following
criteria and shall be determined in accordance with the relevant standards.
Table 1 MEPS Criteria
Sr. Criteria
Energy Efficiency
Durability
Color
8 Chromaticity tolerance

4.10. Compatibility
This criterion is specifically for LED Tubular lamps.
All LED tubular lamps should be compatible with fluorescent tube light fixtures of the
following sizes:
Up to 25 Watts 0.5
4.12. Flicker
The flickering of lights is gauged using ‘Pst LM’ where ‘st’ stands for short term and
‘LM’ for light flicker method, as defined in relevant standards. A value of Pst LM = 1
means that average observer has a 50% probability of detecting flicker, therefore all
the LEDs lamps/lights covered under this standard and operating directly on mains
supply, shall follow the criterion as under:
Pst LM ≤ 1.0 at full load and a sinusoidal input voltage.

MEPS for LED Lighting
The LED lamps should fall within Risk Group rating of RG0 or RG1.
4.14. Warranty
All LED bulbs, tubular lamps, down lights, and street lights should come with the
following warranties:
