Lighting is a major global energy consumer, and as such, it causes notable environmental impacts. The environmental impacts of lighting products are researched by life cycle assessment, a method that takes the whole life cycle of the product into account. It is important to study the product life cycle as whole so that the major environmental hot spots are identified and the environmental impacts are not shifted from one stage to another when choosing a different type of technology on the basis of environmental impacts.
