While much has been reported about new lighting standards signed into law recently, some information is confusing and inaccurate. Following are some important facts:
- Incandescent lights are not going away.
- Decorative bulbs will not be affected. The new standards apply only to typical screw-type bulbs that are 40, 60, 75 or 100 watts.
- You will continue to have a variety of choices when purchasing lights, including compact fluorescent, incandescent, halogen and LED.
- The new bulbs will save you money by lasting longer and using less energy.
- The U.S. will gain new manufacturing jobs as bulb manufacturers retool to meet increased demand for the more efficient lights.
