The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released Draft 3 of the ENERGY STAR Lamps V1.0 specification for review and comment. This specification is intended to replace the existing Compact Fluorescent Lamps and Integral LED Lamps specifications, as well as the certification requirements for GU24-based fluorescent lamps previously detailed in the Residential Light Fixtures specification. It supersedes Draft 2, which was released July 6, 2012.
Comments on Draft 3 must be received no later than Friday, January 18, 2013. Address any comments to lamps@energystar.gov. Note that all comments will be posted to the ENERGY STAR lamp specification web page unless marked “Do Not Post.”
