DOE Rulemaking & Efficiency Standards for General Service Fluorescent Lamps (GSFL)
The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 directed the Department of Energy (DOE) to undertake new energy conservation standards for General Service Fluorescent Lamps (GSFL).
The government will be phasing in new efficiency standards for some popular lamps that you may purchase to use in your facility. These standards affect many general service linear fluorescent lamps. These regulations are not product bans, but they demand that new lamps meet certain performance requirements. Depending on the lamp, these could include: lifetime, maximum wattage, and/or minimum lumen per watt requirements.
