Light Bulbs Reengineering American Energy Economy

March 18, 2019

Light bulb energy-efficiency requirements in the last decade caused a shift away from traditional incandescent bulbs to more efficient alternatives.

Energy efficiency advocates worry the Trump administration may slow the lighting revolution since the Department of Energy said it would withdraw a regulation that nearly doubled the number of light bulbs subject to energy-efficiency requirements.
