I'd like to know if I need to stock up on the 120watt PAR30 flood bulbs that are used in some outdoor motion sensitive lighting fixtures. Thanks The only bulbs being phased out starting 1/1/12 are the standard 100 watt A-line types. PAR30 bulbs aren't on the exempt list, but PAR types aren't mentioned in EISA except for the BPAR (blown glass) type along with R BR and ER types. There's a good summary at: http://applications.nam.lighting.phi...molegislation/ Terry McGowan Terry - The Philips summary page does state that PAR38 lamps will be regulated as og 7/14/2012, and my copy of HR 6. gives the lower efficay targets on page 98.

PAR 38 lamps are regulated, but that regulation is separate from the requirements for the A-line lamps. And, I didn't find anything that would apply to the PAR30. Terry McGowan |
