5.3.3 BaseCase Life Cycle Costs
The table below gives the Life Cycle Costs for the BaseCase, using the rates and prices given in
section 2.4. The actual total consumer expenditure in the EU25 due to the installed base (stock)
is presented in 5.4.3. Note that maintenance costs (K) are included in the operating costs for
replacing lamps (H). Also the purchase prices of lamps are included in the operating costs for
replacing lamps (H).

Each time EU buyers/users make a buying decision, they decide not just on a purchase price of
183 € but on the total Life Cycle Costs (LCC) of the product – including running costs
discounted to their net present value-of on average 1307 €. Initial purchase costs representing
only 14% of total LCC. Operating costs represent 86% in total, of which electricity costs 77%
and lamp replacement (incl. maintenance) costs 9%. Note that compared to the distribution of
environmental effects over the life cycle phases, a similar conclusion could be drawn, but there
the use phase has an even more substantial share compared to the impacts (of production,
distribution, end-of-life) of the luminaire, lamps and ballast.
5.3.4 EU25 Total impacts and expenditure
In chapter 8.1.2.1, total EU25 expenditure is shown in table Table 107: Aggregated results,
Business As Usual (BAU) from 1990 up to 2020.
The following tables represent the EU25 total life cycle impacts from product sales in 2005 for
average product configurations per category F, M, S. On www.eup4light.net, the EcoReports
for all individual product configurations can be found.
