Lamp Obsolescence Notice--Lamp and Ballast Phase Outs
Effective July 14, 2012, the Department of Energy is eliminating light bulbs that do not meet new energy efficiency standards for general-service fluorescent, incandescent and halogen reflector lamps. The least efficient products, as well as those with the lowest costs, will be discontinued in the market place in the very near future. This includes T12 lamps (4 ft, 2 ft, U-Shaped 8 ft, 8 ft T12HO, and some lower color rendering 4 ft T8 lamps). This T12 technology is outdated compared to far more efficient T8 and T5 fluorescent technology now available.
The good news is that owners and managers of America’s commercial, industrial and institutional facilities, such as you, who still rely on T12 technology will benefit from as much as 48% energy savings with an attractive 2 to 3 year simple payback period. You may also benefit from federal tax incentives that are available through the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
Contact Pittaoulis Electric for more information on specific lamps affected, and for further information regarding Energy Audits, local utility rebates, and federal tax credits.
