Background on EISA
• What EISA Is….– Requires general service lamps to be about
30% more efficient– Phase-in over 3 years

– Adopted earlier in California

Misconception #1
• What EISA is NOT…• Misconception #1:
– EISA bans incandescents, requires CFLs• Reality:
– Law is technology neutral, does not require CFLs

Misconception #2
• Misconception #2– Current incandescents are illegal
after January 1st of each phase-in year
• Reality:– Law pertains to manufacturing, not
sales– Retailers can sell through existing
stock

Misconception #3
• Misconception #3– All light bulbs are included
• Reality:– Law includes a number of
exemptions, including three-way bulbs, candelabras, and appliance lights
– Reflectors have their own standards

Misconception #4
• Misconception #4– Congress overturned EISA at the end of 2011
• Reality:– Only eliminated funds for enforcement– Law still stands

Misconception #5
• EISA means the end of the EZ Bake Oven• Reality:
– EZ Bake is alive and well!
NBC News: Hasbro’s classic 50-year-old Easy-Bake oven is losing its light bulb in its 11th re-design. The new, bigger, sleeker purple Easy-Bake Ultimate Oven costs $49.99, up from $29.99

Manufacturer Perspective
• Manufacturers are firmly behind the legislation
10
“NEMA remains committed to and supportive of the lighting standards…NEMA did not support the inclusion of this rider…American manufacturers have invested millions of dollars in transitioning to energy efficient lighting…Delay in enforcement undermines those investments…”

Manufacturer Products• Many EISA compliant bulbs already
available• Most use halogen technologies

Consumer Stockpiling• Mostly anecdotal• Forthcoming study:
– 45% of respondents will purchase extra 100w bulbs due to EISA

Summary and Conclusions
• Manufacturers – Committed to EISA– Introducing new products
• Retailers– Becoming more and more aware– Few have plans to educate customers– High degree of noncompliance in CA
19
![Page 20: The Lights They Are A’Changing : Early Results from EISA 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816939550346895de0a2be/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Summary and Conclusions
• Consumers– Many are still “in the dark”– Indications that as consumers learn there is a
negative reaction
20
![Page 21: The Lights They Are A’Changing : Early Results from EISA 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816939550346895de0a2be/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Recommendations
• URGENT NEED FOR MORE CONSUMER EDUCATION– Facts about the law– Product options– Role for utility programs
• Risk if we don’t educate consumers– “Spin” by those opposed to EISA– Misconceptions can influence public opinion
