On July 12th, the US House of Representatives voted on Republican Party's motion No. 2417. The Republican Party believes that the government should not legislate for what type of light bulbs citizens should buy. This proposal did not receive two-thirds of the votes, not enough to abolish the legislative provisions adopted in 2007 to use high-efficiency light bulbs from 2012, which is good news for LED solid-state lighting supporters.
The House of Representatives supported the bill with 233 votes to 193 votes. The result of this vote basically followed the proportion of the party in the House of Representatives, although 10 Republicans voted against it, and 5 Democrats voted in favor.
The new proposal is contrary to the gradual green movement. In the United States, lighting consumes more than 20% of total energy consumption. Most people see reducing lighting energy consumption as one of the easiest ways to save energy. However, due to the high price of solid-state lighting products, it is necessary to achieve a long service life to make up for expensive replacement costs.
The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) was promulgated by the Republican Party
The irony is that the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) is the Republican, the then-signed President W-Bush signed the bill in 2007, which requires the use of more efficient light bulbs. The bill stipulates that luminaires that reach 100W or have a luminous flux of 1,700 lumens should increase efficiency by more than 30%.
In the next few years, the luminous efficiency requirements will gradually expand to 75W, 60W and 40W lamps. A set of standards that are more demanding on the efficiency of use will be implemented in the next decade. The Energy Independence and Security Act does not prohibit the use of incandescent lamps, but the proposed energy efficiency standards can only be achieved with solid state lighting products and compact fluorescent lamps.
Forced by conservative celebrity pressures including Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, the Republicans are still trying to give citizens the right to freely choose lighting products, despite the fact that efficient lighting products can save a lot of energy. An editor working on the BostonHerald.com site joined the opposition camp and called for a new (can be used) bill for incandescent bulbs.
In fact, many people who oppose the implementation of the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) on lighting do not fully understand the details of the law. Although in most cases, the new bill does not mention the type of bulb used, a recent article in the New York Times has reported that people are starting to hoard incandescent lamps. In fact, the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) allows the use of a variety of luminaires, including three-way bulbs and decorative lights.
Supporters of the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA)
The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) also has strong supporters who have made a lot of lobbying to make Tuesday's vote. Jim Hawort, president of Lighting Science Group, said, “Lighting is a simple and easy way to reduce energy consumption. Lighting energy accounts for 19% of the world's energy consumption. In the US, this proportion is 22%; 60% of public and commercial Building energy consumption is used for lighting, up to 80% of offices are using outdated and inefficient lighting systems; lighting power accounts for 15% of household electricity consumption. Simply replacing 4.4 billion traditional lighting fixtures with high-efficiency lighting fixtures Can quickly save billions of dollars in energy costs.
Of course, most of the supporters have a certain interest drive. Lighting Science Group (LSG) hopes to become a major player in the LED replacement lamp market. In addition, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association has been lobbied to support the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA).
Whether this is the official conclusion of the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) is unclear, but the states of the United States have begun to enact legislation – each in a different direction. California has passed legislation to advance the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) to this year. On the contrary, Texas has made it clear that it will continue to produce and sell incandescent lamps. In July, the United States passed a bill that allowed Texas-produced lamps to be exempted in principle from the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA).
The US government expects to save $6 billion in 2015 after implementing energy efficiency standards. According to statistics from the US Department of Energy, lighting power accounts for about 10% of household electricity consumption. If a household eliminates 15% of low-efficiency incandescent lamps, it can save $50 a year.
The new standard stipulates that new bulbs must be 25% to 30% more efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs; from January 1, 2012, stores must not sell 100-watt incandescent lamps with lower luminous efficiency; in 2013, 75-watt inefficient incandescents were eliminated Lights; in 2014, 40 watts and 60 watts of inefficient incandescent lamps were eliminated.
The National Resource Conservation Commission said that after the energy efficiency standard is fully implemented in 2020, the annual electricity consumption per household will be reduced by 7%, or $85. The expansion of the use of energy-efficient light bulbs will reduce the need for electricity generation for 33 large power plants across the United States.
The inventor of the incandescent lamp, Edison's descendants, supported the government's implementation of the energy-saving standards for light bulbs. According to them, if politicians hold on to outdated technology and ignore better light bulbs, Edison will be "shamed."
Edison’s great-grandson Barry Barry Sloan said that if Edison is alive, he will certainly recognize the evolution of light bulbs in the direction of “higher quality, lower price, higher efficiency and lower pollutionâ€. Edison’s Zeng Wei, Robert Wheeler, said: “Technology is innovating. Embrace it.â€

US House of Representatives continues to push bulb energy efficiency standards
The White House Bill 2417 (Lamp Use Optimization Act, hereinafter referred to as Resolution 2417), although a majority vote in the US House of Representatives, did not meet the two-thirds of the votes required to repeal the 2007 Act. The bill passed in 2007 (Energy Independence and Security Act) stipulates that in 2012-2014, general lighting fixtures with a light output range of 310-2,600 lm will be subject to new energy consumption standards. At present, the energy consumption of 100W, 75W, 60W and 40W incandescent lamps will be limited to 72W, 53W, 43W and 29W respectively under the same light output. That is, from 2012 onwards, a more efficient 100W bulb such as an LED lamp must be used.
