The Wall Street Journal has published a new opinion editorial by legendary lighting designer Howard Brandston taking aim at mandates to use compact fluorescent lamps in the home, and also pending legislation that would make energy codes much stricter than today. I’m proud to call Howard a client. I was pleased to work with him to help develop the article, which appeared in today’s issue.

If you don’t like the idea of having to use CFLs throughout your house, don’t just tell the government, though. Tell the lamp manufacturers you want them to continue to make incandescent lamps, and to improve lamp efficiency. Or simply buy Philips’ energy-saving version of the Halogena, at least while it still complies until even tighter mandates come after 2012-2014.
