New Lamp Regulations Now In Effect

On Saturday July 14th, many popular lamps are no longer being manufactured due to changes in legislation standards. More Here


Visit Philips Lighting to use their interactive lamp replacement tool and to learn about the impact this change has on your lighting options. 


Between 2005 and 2009, fluorescent ballast regulations imposed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) became effective in phases, limiting availability of T12 magnetic ballasts in new fixtures. In July 2010, the final phase of these regulations went into effect, virtually eliminating fluorescent F40T12, F96T12 and F96T12HO magnetic ballasts from the market. This includes both full wattage and energy saving versions (e.g., ballasts for 34W T12 lamps) as well as replacement ballasts—with few exceptions. 


The final nail has come in 2012. New DOE fluorescent lamp regulations are taking effect, strengthening standards for lamp types covered by previous regulation while also covering 8' T8, 4' T5, along with more wattages of 4' T8 and T12 lamps. The net result, with few exceptions, is that a majority of 4' linear and 2' U-shaped T12, many 8' T12 and T12HO, and some low color rendering 4' T8 lamps are being eliminated.
