The Department of Energy (DOE) issued new energy-efficiency standards for general service incandescent-halogen reflector lamps, effective July 14, 2012.
Halogen reflector lamps affected by this federal legislation need to comply with mandated performance levels based on efficacy, and lamps must meet new minimum Lumen per Watt (LPW) requirements.
Lamp manufacturers are no longer permitted to produce or import halogen lamps that do not meet efficiency requirements. However, these lamps can still be sold until their inventory is depleted. As an effective and affordable solution, Halogen / Xenon lamps are perfect replacements for non-compliant halogen PAR lamps.
