1 The new standards affecting the lighting industry. Educating you now and into the future.

2 A handy guide to understanding and complying with the new lighting legislation Federal legislation and DOE rulemakings continue to impact the lamps and ballasts that the lighting industry can manufacture, import and sell. Both also have a dramatic effect on the lighting products available for sale and use by distributors, specifiers, contractors and end users. As a worldwide lighting leader, OSRAM SYLVANIA keeps abreast of the ever changing legislative and DOE rulemaking landscape and is committed to informing its customers about compliance requirements. We are committed to the ongoing development of compliant lighting systems that deliver higher efficiency, reduced wattages, improved lumen output and longer life features that yield benefits such as energy savings and reduced maintenance costs that you and your end users can depend on to replace traditional products now and in the future. We have prepared this brochure and many other educational resources, including our websites, to help you better understand and navigate these challenging but necessary transitions. 2

3 The Energy Policy Act of 2005 The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) was passed by the United States Congress on July 29, 2005, and signed into law by President George W. Bush on August 8, The act addressed growing energy problems by changing U.S. energy policy, and by providing tax incentives and loan guarantees for energy production of various types. EPAct 2005 also expanded the coverage of the 2000 Department of Energy (DOE) Ballast Rule to include magnetic ballasts operating energy-saver type T12 fluorescent lamps. The new efficiency standards started taking effect on July 1, 2009, and the phase-out was complete on October 1, The ballasts affected by the rulemaking are those that operate: T12 4-foot linear and 2-foot U-shaped Rapid Start lamps with medium bi-pin bases T12 8-foot Instant Start lamps with single pin bases T12 8-foot Rapid Start HO lamps with recessed double contact (RDC) bases The effect of the new performance standards is to eliminate many of today s widely used magnetic ballasts in favor of more energy efficient electronic ballasts. The chart below summarizes the phase-out schedule for noncompliant ballasts. Phase-out Schedule for Noncompliant Ballasts Action by Manufacturers 2000 DOE Ballast Rule Effective date of BEF standards for ballasts operating full wattage T12 lamps EPAct 2005 Effective date of BEF standards for ballasts operating energy saving T12 lamps Ballast manufacturers can no longer manufacture ballasts for use in new fixtures that do not pass the new requirements. Ballast manufacturers can no longer sell ballasts to U.S. fixture manufacturers that do not pass the new requirements. Fixture manufacturers can no longer sell fixtures containing ballasts that do not pass the new requirements. Ballast manufacturers can no longer manufacture replacement ballasts that do not pass the new requirements. Ballast manufacturers can no longer sell replacement ballasts that do not pass the new requirements.

4 The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007) BR40 Following on the heels of EPAct 2005, another major piece of legislation, The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007), was signed by President George W. Bush on December 19, Its purpose was to move the United States toward greater energy independence and security, to increase production of clean renewable fuels, and to establish new and challenging energy efficiency standards for products, public buildings and vehicles. In addition to covering issues ranging from fuel economy standards for cars and trucks, to renewable fuel and electricity, to training programs for a green collar workforce, EISA 2007 also set the federal mandatory energy efficiency standards for appliances and lighting. Incandescent Reflector Lamps (IRL) Subtitle B, Section 322 of the bill, with an effective date of January 1, 2012, widens the range of incandescent reflector lamp types affected by the first Energy Policy Act of This federal legislation prohibits manufacturers from producing certain incandescent reflector lamps, including halogen PAR types, unless they meet or exceed the new energy efficiency standards. BR38 The new reflector lamp types targeted by the EISA 2007 legislation are: BR, ER BPAR (OPAR) and similarly shaped reflector lamps. Reflector lamps with an outside diameter greater than 2.25 (18 eighths) through 2.75 (22 eighths) inches, effectively covering PAR20 & R20 types. Lamps having a rated wattage of 40 watts or higher (40 205W). Lamp types affected must meet the following lumen per watt (LPW) standards unless they are exempted: R20 Nominal Lamp Wattage Minimum Average Lamp Efficacy in Lumens per Watt (LPW) The following lamp types are exempt from the LPW standards: BR30, BR40 & ER40 lamps rated at 65 watts. ER30, BR30, BR40 & ER40 lamps rated at 50 watts. R20 lamps rated at 45 watts. The reflector lamp provisions took effect in June, General Service Incandescent Lamps The EISA 2007 legislation also established a phase-out schedule for today s 40, 60, 75 and 100 watt General Service Incandescent lamps and a phase-in schedule and standards for lamps that are suitable replacements. 4

5 Specific wattage and lumen ranges for General Service Incandescent types are listed in the chart below: Wattage and Lumen Ranges for General Service Incandescent Types Today's Lamp Rated Lumen Replacement Maximum Minimum Rated Effective Phase-Out Date Wattage Range Rated Wattage Lamp Life Products manufactured on or after: ,000 hours 1/1/ ,000 hours 1/1/ ,000 hours 1/1/ ,000 hours 1/1/2014 A19 The following lamp types are exempt: Lamps rated at more than 100 watts. Low volume, specialty application types. These types include, but are not limited to, appliance, bug, colored, infrared, rough service, shatter resistant/shatterproof, sign, traffic signal, vibration service, G-shaped lamps with a diameter of 5 inches or more, certain T-shaped lamps, and decorative shapes such as B, BA, CA, F, G16½, G25, G30, S or M14 of 40 watts or less. California and Nevada legislation California and Nevada had passed their own legislation with regards to General Service Incandescent lamps. For that reason, both states were given the opportunity to start the phase-out one year earlier than the other 48 states. California has elected to do so, and their 3-year phase-out schedule will begin January 1, 2011, starting with replacement of the 100 watt lamp. For more information about these preemptions, visit: In response to this legislation, OSRAM SYLVANIA has created a list of replacement options for all affected lamps. Our halogen, compact fluorescent and solid state (LED) lamps provide energy savings; our compact fluorescent and solid state lamps provide longer life. For a list of replacement lamp options, visit: Ballast Efficiency in New Metal Halide Luminaires The EISA 2007 legislation also set standards for ballasts used in new metal halide luminaires that operate lamps from 150 to 500 watts. New metal halide luminaires must contain ballasts that meet one of the following efficiency standards: 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 ballast with A minimum ballast efficiency of 92% for wattages > 250W A minimum ballast efficiency of 90% for wattages 250W New metal halide luminaires operating lamps of watts manufactured on or after January 1, 2009 contain pulse-start, magnetic or electronic, metal halide ballasts with a minimum ballast efficiency of 88%. At this time, no magnetic probe-start ballasts or non pulse-start electronic ballasts meeting these efficiencies are available. Some exclusions were allowed: Luminaires with regulated lag ballasts Luminaires with electronic ballasts to operate at 480V Luminaires 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 Please note that all three conditions must occur together for the last exemption to apply. These ballast efficiency standards apply to ballasts used in new luminaires; they do not apply to replacement ballasts. For a list of replacement ballast options visit 5

6 2009 DOE Lamp Rulemaking for GSFL and IRL Lamps 2009 DOE Lamp Rulemaking for GSFL and IRL Lamps The Department of Energy announced new efficiency standards for General Service Fluorescent lamps (GSFLs), linear and U-shaped, as well as Incandescent Reflector lamps (IRLs) including halogen PAR lamps. The efficiency standards require these covered lamp types to meet minimum lumen per watt (LPW) requirements; products that do not meet the minimum LPW requirements as of July 14, 2012, can no longer be produced. The chart below lists the General Service Fluorescent lamp types affected by these standards: General Service Fluorescent Lamp Types Correlated Color Energy Conservation Lamp Type Temperature (CCT) Standard (lm/w) 4-foot (T8 - T12) Medium Bi-pin 25W 4500K / > 4500K & 7000K 89 / 88 2-foot (T8 - T12) U-Shaped 25W 4500K / > 4500K & 7000K 84 / 81 8-foot (T8 - T12) Single Pin Slimline 52W 4500K / > 4500K & 7000K 97 / 93 8-foot (T8 - T12) High Output 4500K / > 4500K & 7000K 92 / 88 4-foot (T5) Miniature Bi-pin Standard Output 26W 4500K / > 4500K & 7000K 86 / 81 4-foot (T5) Miniature Bi-pin High Output 49W 4500K / > 4500K & 7000K 76 / 72 The following lamp types are exempt: Lamps with color rendering index (CRI) of 87, cold temperature (CT), UV, plant, impact resistant, reflector or aperture and reprographic Lamps marketed as colored lamps with either a CRI of < 40 or a color temperature of < 2500K or > 7000K 6
