Before We Begin…
• “EESA” or “IISA”?• Show of hands…

Overview
• Background on EISA• Reactions to EISA
– Manufacturers– Retailers– Consumers
• What are we learning from these results?

Background on EISA
• What EISA Is….– Requires general service lamps to be about
30% more efficient– Phase-in over 3 years
• 2012: 100w 72w• 2013: 75w 53w• 2014: 60w 43w
– 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
![Page 6: The Lights They are A’Changing : Early Results from EISA 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681676a550346895ddc523e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

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
![Page 7: The Lights They are A’Changing : Early Results from EISA 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681676a550346895ddc523e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

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
![Page 8: The Lights They are A’Changing : Early Results from EISA 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681676a550346895ddc523e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Misconception #4
• Misconception #4– Congress overturned EISA at the end of 2011
• Reality:– Only eliminated funds for enforcement– Law still stands
![Page 9: The Lights They are A’Changing : Early Results from EISA 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681676a550346895ddc523e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

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
“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

Manufacturer Products
• Bulbs cost more than legacy incandescents• 72w bulbs close to price of CFLs

Consumer Awareness• Consumer awareness appears to be
increasing• Highest in Wyoming
![Page 18: The Lights They are A’Changing : Early Results from EISA 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681676a550346895ddc523e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Consumer Stockpiling• ComEd study:
– 45% of respondents likely to purchase extra 100w bulbs due to EISA
• NYSERDA: 3 of 5 manufacturers preparing for hoarding
![Page 19: The Lights They are A’Changing : Early Results from EISA 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681676a550346895ddc523e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Manufacturer:“Anecdotally, I’d say one-third of customers know about EISA, and two-thirds have no idea. When I talk to consumers, people that know about it tell me they are buying more than normal, and storing extra quantities in their pantries. We have one last big hurrah where the demand for incandescents will accelerate and consumers will rush from store to store until they find them”

The Future of Lighting Purchases?
![Page 21: The Lights They are A’Changing : Early Results from EISA 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681676a550346895ddc523e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

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 noncompliant bulbs
![Page 22: The Lights They are A’Changing : Early Results from EISA 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681676a550346895ddc523e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Summary and Conclusions
• Consumers– Many are still “in the dark”– Indications that as consumers learn there is a
negative reaction
![Page 23: The Lights They are A’Changing : Early Results from EISA 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681676a550346895ddc523e/html5/thumbnails/23.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
