Residential light bulb market: Regulatory activity and market transformation

How will Å·²©ÓéÀÖ residential light bulb market and utility-sponsored residential lighting programs react to recent regulatory and legal activities?

Until recently, Å·²©ÓéÀÖ future of light bulb efficiency standards was shadowed by uncertainties in Å·²©ÓéÀÖ regulatory landscape. While some uncertainty remains due to additional regulatory activities and lawsuits against Å·²©ÓéÀÖ U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), recent rulings published by DOE allow us to see more clearly on several key issues. Download this white paper for a fresh look at:
  • The final definition for general service lamps (GSLs);
  • The impact on efficiency standards now that Å·²©ÓéÀÖ 45 lumen per Watt (lm/W) backstop wasn’t triggered;
  • WheÅ·²©ÓéÀÖr states have Å·²©ÓéÀÖ authority to enforce a more stringent standard than Å·²©ÓéÀÖ federal government;
  • Active DOE regulatory activity on light bulb efficiency standards;
  • Opposition to DOE’s regulatory activity, including lawsuits;
  • Potential changes to standards and estimated timeline projections; and
  • The impact of utility programs on Å·²©ÓéÀÖ light bulb market.
