Lighting accounts for around 15% of global electricity
use², making it a powerful place to start when reducing
energy consumption and carbon emissions.
LEDs are already a major step forward, but not all
LEDs perform the same. Our UltraEfficient LED lamps
and luminaires are designed to help you save even more
energy and lower CO₂ emissions — without compromising
on quality. Choosing UltraEfficient lamps and luminaires
means making a smart choice for both you and the planet.
Save energy over conventional lamps or standard LED with our UltraEfficient lamps (EEL A and B) and luminaires
(tier 3 in IEA 4E SSL ANNEX)¹'³
UltraEfficient lamps and luminaires offer from 3 to 5 times longer lifetimes than standard LED lighting products.³
Best-in-class light quality that meets the requirements of a wide range of applications.
Advantages for everybody: Attractive payback times for your customers and higher profits per light point for you.³
When upgrading 100 units of 58W fluorescent tubes to Philips MASTER LEDtubes UE (EEL A) your customers can expect:
Compared to a fluorescent tube, a new Philips MASTER LEDtube UE (EELA) can reduce CO₂ emission by 1632 kg over its lifetime.

The UltraEfficient mark is a Signify self-certification — not a third-party accreditation. Lamps qualify by meeting EU Energy Label class A or B. Luminaires qualify by meeting tier 3 in the IEA 4E SSL ANNEX. The mark indicates performance beyond standard LED, covering efficacy, lifetime, and energy savings, and is substantiated by Signify's published product brochures for each family in the range.
Efficacy across the UltraEfficient lamp range reaches up to 210 lm/W — achieved by both the MASTER LEDtube UE T8 (EEL A) and the MASTER LEDbulb UE. Across the lamp portfolio, UltraEfficient products save from 44% to 65% energy compared to standard alternative products. The exact saving depends on the specific product and its baseline; figures are detailed in the downloadable LED lamps brochure.
The comparison baseline matters significantly. Upgrading 100 units of 58 W fluorescent tubes (TL-D 1500 mm) to MASTER LEDtube UE T8 (EEL A, 210 lm/W) delivers a payback of 0.4 years and saves €11,848 per year, with CO₂ avoided of 1,632 kg over the tube's lifetime. Compared to a standard LED tube (CorePro 25.9 W), the same upgrade saves €1,662 per year with a 2.6-year payback — a meaningfully different result depending on the starting point. LED tubes product pages carry full specification details.
The UltraEfficient indoor luminaire portfolio covers trunking, high-bay, panels, and accent families. Examples include Maxos fusion UE (190–202 lm/W), CoreLine highbay gen6 UE (190–196 lm/W), Pacific LED gen5 UE (185–191 lm/W), PowerBalance UE (172–174 lm/W), and StyliD Evo UE (144–159 lm/W), among others. Efficacy figures are quoted at system level; energy savings versus the prior or standard equivalent vary by family and are specified in the LED luminaires brochure. The full portfolio is available via indoor luminaires.
UltraEfficient outdoor families include UniStreet/LumiStreet UE, Luma UE, and AluRoad UE. Luma UE and UniStreet/LumiStreet UE both achieve 203 lm/W in selected configurations, with die-castings from more than 80–85% recycled aluminium and Interact City connectivity. AluRoad UE reaches 172 lm/W and saves 65% versus a standard LED alternative. All three carry Signify Circle circularity commitment. Full specifications are on the road and street category page.
For installations requiring compliance with EN 12464-1 (consult the relevant clause and table for your specific task and space type) — which addresses UGR limits for workstations with display screens — workplace-suitable UltraEfficient families meet this threshold. PowerBalance UE, for example, is rated UGR 16. The choice of family should be validated against the specific task illuminance and uniformity targets for the space, confirmed through photometric calculation in DIALux or Relux against EN 12464-1 Table 5.3.
The MASTER LEDtube UE T8 (EEL A) carries a 10-year warranty and a rated lifetime of 100,000 hours (L70). Other UltraEfficient lamps — including the MASTER LEDbulb UE and MASTER LEDspot UE GU10 — carry a 5-year 50,000 hours (L70). Warranty terms can differ by country and project type — verify the warranty period and conditions applicable in your market with the local Signify representative or authorised partner.
The MASTER LED SON-T UE is engineered as a direct retrofit into existing SON-T luminaires, maintaining the same physical size and light distribution. It delivers up to 9,000 lm at 19–42.8 W (replacing 50–100 W SON-T), saving 65% energy versus a conventional HID system including ballast losses, with a payback of 2.7 years and CO₂ avoided of 1,043 kg per 100 units over lifetime. CRI 70, EEL A or B rated, with a 5-year warranty. See LED HID replacement for the full range.
The page provides two downloadable brochures — one covering UltraEfficient lamps and one covering UltraEfficient luminaires — along with a "Discover the portfolio" link to the full product range on signify.com. Specifiers can access project tools and services at signify.com/specifier; installers at signify.com/installer. The Signify Lighting Academy offers educational resources and certification relevant to specifying and installing UltraEfficient products.
This is Signify's global product page. Country-specific regulations — such as local electrical installation codes, national energy-efficiency mandates, and the EU EcoDesign Directive — vary by market and are not covered here.
