Foreword from the Society of Light and Lighting (SLL)

The rapid development of LED technology and its applications has started to transform
the way people use light and apply lighting in and around their buildings. Although
the Society has been updating its lighting recommendations in the Code for Lighting
and our various building sector lighting guides to incorporate advice on using LEDs,
there has been a need for one overall comprehensive guide to LED technology and its
application.

The Society welcomes this Code of Practice as a way of promoting understanding of


LED technology and how it can be used to enhance the way buildings and the wider
environment can be lit well while using less energy and reducing maintenance costs.

Scope and purpose


The aims of this Code of Practice are to:

provide condence to speciers, installers, maintainers and end-users as a minimum


standard for light-emitting diode (LED) lighting systems installation;
provide useful guidance on the selection, application and suitability of LED lighting
systems to installers, maintainers, operators and systems managers.

The scope of this document covers:



interior and exterior applications of LED lighting systems in compliance with relevant
standards and regulations;
LED performance, lifetime and safety considerations, lighting design principles,
physical and thermal considerations, drivers and wiring, controls and dimming, and
retrot.

Note that this Code of Practice does not cover lighting design in detail, specialist lighting
applications or organic LED (OLED) lighting systems specically, although some elements of
this document do apply to OLED applications.
