I recently bought a new Dell monitor and I noticed that it had two sets of energy efficiency labels on the side of the box. It looked like this (except with a bit different numbers): https://twitter.com/jonworth/status/1463961078593896450 https://twitter.com/jonworth/status/1463961078593896450 I guess this is yet another great Brexit victory.

Surely the funniest bit about those labels is they're measuring kWh/1000 hours

  Makes them easier to parse for the average person than if they were in just raw kWh. A GU10 Philips Hue White Ambiance with a crap G efficiency rating is like 5 kWh/1000h.

    5W is much easier to read than 5kWh/1000h.

      Yeah, but your utility company charges you by the kWh.

    Or 5 watts

  Gas pipelines, from memory, measure gas flow also in kWh/h. I mean, it would feel weird to measure flow of a material medium in Watts, but still...

    Makes it easier to compare to electricity. If I'm attempting to switch to only electricity I can more easily see what I'll be needing, heat pump, battery size etc

Indeed, gaining that separate label with the Union Flag was totally worth the Brexit headaches. That, and now every widget I buy has the UKCA lable on it alongside the CE mark.
