Abstract
Lighting products are essential in our lives, but they also produce a high environmental impact in our planet. One of the most effective and feasible approaches to reduce their environmental impact is eco-design. However, there are not comprehensive and updated systematic methods to eco-design lighting products. This chapter presents an effective comprehensive eco-design integrated approach to design lighting products. The approach integrates eco-design guidelines, life cycle assessment, finite element analysis, lighting driver selector and experimental methods into the product development process. The approach is demonstrated with a case study based on the design of a luminaire with low environmental impact produced by a lighting manufacturer. The advantages and disadvantages of the methods/tools involved in the approach are discussed. This approach contributes to the body of knowledge in the area of methods and tools to support designers to design lighting products with lower environmental impact.
