What is the energy efficiency standard for LED lights in Gulf countries?

Gulf countries have unified and strengthened energy efficiency standards for LED lighting in recent years. Key requirements include:

• SASO 2902:2024 — Saudi Arabia's updated standard requiring minimum luminous efficacy of 120 lm/W
• G-Mark energy label — mandatory energy rating from A to E for all LED products in GCC
• UAE Energy Efficiency Label — similar rating system under ECAS for UAE market
• Products must maintain power factor (PF) > 0.9 and standby power < 0.5W
• Yakeen Lighting products typically achieve 130–160 lm/W, well above minimum thresholds
