It is my understanding that the phase-out affects ONLY 75w and 100w
incandescent lamps and is due in 2012. If your query is of OTHER wattages,
you probably have little (currently) about which to be concerned.


Hi Jim,

The phase-out applies to general service lamps (i.e., A19) with a
light output of between 310 and 2600 lumens, so 40 and 60-watt
incandescents are included; regulations pertaining to these lower
wattages take effect in 2014.

Cheers,
Paul
