Es importante poder informar a la comunidad de manera clara sobre las características de los productos que consume. En este caso, hay que simplificar el mensaje, porque la gente sin conocimientos técnicos puede no entender bien qué significa la eficiencia energética. Por otro lado, la única forma que tiene un consumidor de saber si un producto cumple o no con tal o cual norma, es a través de los organismos certificantes.
En el caso particular de las lámparas fluorescentes compactas, debería medirse también la emisión de componentes armónicas que inyectan a la red. No se si esta medición está incluída en las pruebas que certifican la eficiencia.
