Abstract :The lighting industry, which was unaffected by the economic downturn triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, recorded a growth of 2.5% in 2020. The global lighting market, valued at approximately 118.33 billion USD in 2019, is expected to reach 163.72 billion USD by 2027. In Turkey\'s imports of electric lighting devices, China leads with a 49% share, while EU countries such as Germany, Romania, Italy, the Czech Republic, France, and Poland are also significant import partners. As a candidate country for the EU, Turkey must align its products, particularly solid-state lighting equipment, with EU regulations. This study was prepared using LED lamps from ten different brands, both domestic and imported, available in the Turkish market. The lamps were tested under the Energy Labeling Regulation (EU) 2019/2015 and photometric analyses were conducted. The results indicate that all LED lamps fall into the \'F\' and \'G\' energy classes under the new labeling rules. Although the sample size is limited, this study highlights the need to improve the efficiency of LED lamps in Turkey while technically complying with the new energy labeling regulations, and provides a reference for manufacturers aiming to enter the Turkish and EU LED markets.
