12T-s Are Getting Dimmer… • A multi-step phase-out process for the T-12 ballasts began in 2005 • As of July 1, 2010, the Department of Energy prohibited the manufacture of T-12 magnetic ballasts • Beginning July 14, 2012 many T-12 bulbs will be phased out of production and will not be available
New DOE Standards • Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 • Effective July 14, 2012 • Affects linear and U-shaped fluorescent lamps and halogen PAR lamps • Implements lumens per watt (LPW) regulations for linear fluorescent and halogen PAR lamps • Will result in eliminating 4 foot T-12 bulbs, most 8 foot T-12 bulbs and some 4 foot T-8 bulbs • Will result in eliminating all standard halogen PAR 20, PAR38 and PAR 38 within 40-250 watt range

Reflector Bulbs All incandescent R20, R30, R40, BR30, BR40, and BPAR reflector bulbs must meet halogen efficiency levels except: • Lamps rated at 50 watts or less that are ER30, BR30, BR40, or ER40 • Lamps rated at 65 watts that are BR30, BR40 or ER40 • R20 incandescent reflector lamps rated 45 watts or less
Produce more green energy or reduce the need for energy? • Which is more cost effective? Which is faster to implement? • According to the Energy Cost Savings Council, energy-efficient lighting projects alone generate an average 45% return on investment, giving an ROI of just 2.2 years.
