AS INFORMAÇÕES SOBRE PROPRIEDADES LUMINICAS CONTIDAS NAS EMBALAGENS DE LÂMPADAS

UMA QUESTÃO IMPORTANTE PARA O CONSUMO CORRETO DO EQUIPAMENTO E PARA SUA ACEITAÇÃO NO MERCADO

Abstract

The paper presents the final results of the interdisciplinary research that has as its subject the information contained in the packages of energy saving lamps necessary for the consumer to choose the product that will promote light stimuli, in internal spaces, within the parameter of visual comfort. The research presents the results found about the existing information provision regulations in lamps packaging in comparison with what is executed by the manufacturers and distributed in the market, presenting, based in this comparison, a new proposal of mandatory content to be informed. The main objective of this study was to provide the final consumer with better access to the characteristics of the product to be acquired that can provide greater visual comfort, without loss of financial and environmental savings, noting that the new lamp technologies available in the market, which offer greater luminous efficiency, have variation of light properties that are not always described in their entirety in the packages. The methodology made use of primary sources, with the direct documentation of the existing regulations and of the lamps packaging, through a sampling. The result achieved was a list of content to be obligatorily informed and a proposal to formulate the visual communication of the packages that allows the consumer access to the necessary information.
