5. NEMA Lighting Systems Division • Lamps • Ballasts • Luminaires • Lighting Controls • Emergency Lighting • Solid State Lighting

6. Recent U.S. Federal Legislation Affecting Outdoor Lighting • The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) • The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007)

7. Energy Policy Act of 2005 • Mercury Vapor Lamp Ballasts • For general illumination applications may not be manufactured or imported, effective January 1, 2008 • In 2005, a notice in the Federal Register clarified that this also includes luminaires containing such ballasts • 2007 legislation provides for continued use in specialty applications provided the ballast is marked “Not for general illumination” and identifies the specialty application

8. Energy Independence andSecurity Act (EISA) of 2007 • Metal Halide Fixtures • Metal halide lamp fixtures operated with lamps ≥150W but ≤ 500W shall contain one of the following • A pulse-start metal halide ballast with a minimum ballast efficiency of 88% or • A magnetic probe-start ballast with a minimum ballast efficiency of 94% or • A non-pulse-start electronic ballasts with • A minimum ballast efficiency of 92% for wattages > 250 • A minimum ballast efficiency of 90% for wattages ≤ 250W

9. EISA: Metal Halide Fixtures • Exclusions • Fixture with regulated lag ballasts • Fixtures with electronic ballasts to operate at 480V • Fixtures that • Are only rated for 150W lamps and • Are rated for use in wet locations and • Contain a ballast that is rated to operate at ambient air temperatures above 50°C • Effective Date • Applies to fixtures manufactured on or after January 1, 2009 • State laws with earlier effective dates remained in effect until the Federal standards became effective

10. Market Characterization • Current Outdoor Lighting Market • High Intensity Discharge (HID) - 86.8 % • Street and Roadway Lighting • Mercury Vapor-20% • High Pressure Sodium-52.3% • Low Pressure Sodium-5% • Downtown Cities and Parking Lots • Metal Halide-9.5% • Incandescent -11.2% • Fluorescent -1.9% • Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)-0.01% • New technology--some pilot projects *Data from U.S. Lighting Market Characterization, Navigant Consulting 2002

11. 2009 Federal Energy Legislation • NEMA Approach for Outdoor Lighting • New building construction and major renovations • Adopt and enforce most current version of ASHRAE/IES 90.1 • Funding to states to implement and improve energy codes • Existing building outdoor lighting • Tax incentives for building outdoor lighting replacement and upgraded to meet ASHRAE/IES 90.1 - 2007 • Street and roadway lighting • Set lumens per watt (LPW) standard based on applications, promote use of controls, and direct DOE to conduct rulemaking to update Federal standards

12. House and Senate Bills • Setting federal energy efficiency standards for outdoor and roadway lighting luminaires • H.R. 2454 (Waxman-Markey, ACESA 2009) • Section 211 – Outdoor Lighting Standards [modified H.R. 1732 (Harman-Upton)] • S. 1462 • Senate “vehicle” • NEMA testified in favor of including ODL

13. House Legislation: Section 211 (a) • Outdoor Luminaires • Manufactured on or after January 1, 2016 shall • have initial luminaire efficacy ≥ 50 LPW, and • use light source with lumen maintenance ≥ 0.6 • have capability of producing at least 2 different light levels, including 100% and 60% of full lamp output • outdoor luminaries used for roadway lighting exempt from control requirements • Manufactured on or after January 1, 2018, shall • have an initial luminaire efficacy ≥ 70 LPW, and • use a light source with a lumen maintenance ≥ 0.6 • Not later than January 1, 2022, DOE issues final rule amending standards (if technologically feasible and economically justified) • for products manufactured on or after January 1, 2025 or the date of final rule plus one year, whichever is later

14. House Legislation: Section 211 (a) • Outdoor high light output lamps • Each outdoor high light output lamp manufactured on or after January 1, 2017, shall have a lighting efficiency of at least 45 lumens per watt

15. Senate Bill • NEMA involved in intensive, multi-month negotiations on outdoor lighting provisions • Set efficiency levels on a Task LPW approach taking into account application issues • Area, roadway and high-mast • Decorative post-top and dusk-to-dawn • Include some control requirements • IES illumination levels • Provide tax incentives • Effective date of new standards • Provide for DOE to do follow-on rulemakings

16. Outlook and Prognosis • House and Senate legislation part of broad effort on energy and climate change • H.R. 2454 passed June 26 • S. 1462 could be considered this fall • S. 1733 Kerry-Boxer climate change provisions • Once Senate acts, House and Senate bills must be “conferenced” and a consensus bill approved
